samregjones Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 i used to have a leon sport 180bhp and now i'm driving a lupo sport too so suffering with the same problem, i miss that turbo torque!!tuning the lupo all depends on how much you want to spend and how good you are with a spanner. one thing i was looking at was supercharging; the cooper s supercharge is a bolt-in engine mod and doesn't look too difficult if you know what you're doing, i've had a breif look into it out of interest so don't quote me on fitting one...but i think all you need is the charger, a bracket to mount it on and a pulley to connect to the aux belt. fitting one will give 170bhp i know that much and thats alot in a one ton car!!hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I really dont think fitting a charger is that simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samregjones Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 i can't see it being that much work, its a bolt in job, just got make sure it all lines up and re-map when done.i think theres a thread on here with a how to and what involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark 12 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 haha i was looking at this my self and i am very good with the spaners to be honest . i didnt think it was just that easy tbf . i am also looking at transplants think of the 1.8 conversion because i have got mate who has a tunning company and can use his ramp and bits and bobs and he is looking to help on a project now he has finished his evo so this might be the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
