    Hi and welcome - nice to see some Cupra's on here. I really like that blue coloured leather on the interior.

    Have a look at the Burger Motorsports JB4 tuning box. This one is for the EA888 Gen 4 but specifically lists the Mk8 Golf GTI and R.....not sure if this one is suited to your engine? But this is the only tuning box I would personally use on a VAG product and they are well respected.

    Burger Motorsports JB4 Performance Tune '-' VW MK8 GTI | AutoInstruct

    There is also this one which may be the right one?? Burger Motorsports JB4 Tune '-' Group 18 MK8 R, 8Y S3 | AutoInstruct

    Even these removable tuning boxes will likely kill your drivetrain warranty if something catastrophic happens as the the ECU will have a record of the increased boost pressure etc and the dealership will be able to see this if they connect their computer and look for evidence of tampering.

    Cheers - the leather is part of the 'Tribe' edition, and I kinda like it as it's a bit different. Heated seats and steering wheel are great too !

    Been waiting for a response from them, but they are rather lacking there. Even the local agent is non-responsive.

    DTE was another good one that I looked at and am a bit hesitant at the moment. They have a good reputation as well.

    Brakes are the main item at the moment, so will get that done first and worry about the rest later. 140kW is not to bad at the moment
