Back in the game - Cupra black 470bhp

Interesting. The price gap between a Garrett and hybrid turbo setup is closing down now, granted to really take full advantage of a Garrett system you'd need to build the internals up but even so it's interesting to see what is preferred. Low spool times for a 4motion road car is certainly my ideal upgrade...

The TTE470 turbo is even better suited to the Cupra DSG than the OEM turbo. In drive the car came on boost before the next gearchange on the OEM turbo, whilst on the TTE the transition between gears is much smoother.
I'd not go GTX3071R again as the Cupra is FWD and the TTE is just right for this car. :happy2:

Good sounding stuff, I'm thinking a TTE420 for my 6R but the price gap between that and a GTX3071R setup similar to your old setup is close.

TTE420 is the most efficient of the TFSI hybrid turbo's and a good choice. I'd probably go for the GTX though! 😋

Now the car has more power it is time to add a little more control. :smiley:
Enter the brake upgrade......TTRS calipers, VBT carrier adapters, Clubsport S discs, RS3 vented dust shields, Clubsport S brake ducting, HEL lines and Brembo pads. Gloss black with the rear calipers painted to match. Bonus is a 14+kg weight saving over the OEM brakes and all on the unsprung mass. :happy2:
Next up, REVO engine and transmission mounts. The stock ones just don't cut it now, so to reduce driveline shunt these Are in to help stiffen up the driveline and reduce wheel hop.
Just need to decide on suspension tweaks now!........ :driver:
