SEAT Leon Cupra 5F Stage 1 Remap
Our Stage 1 ECU remap is designed to optimise the factory engine management software without requiring additional performance hardware modifications.
The SEAT Leon Cupra 5F produces 290 BHP and 350 Nm of torque as standard. With a Stage 1 remap, power can increase to approximately 360 BHP and 480 Nm, delivering stronger acceleration and improved performance throughout the rev range.
Benefits of a Stage 1 remap include:
- Increased horsepower
- Increased torque
- Improved throttle response
- Stronger acceleration
- Improved in-gear performance
- Smoother power delivery
Stage 1 tuning is an excellent option for Leon Cupra owners looking for a noticeable performance improvement while retaining the standard hardware configuration.
SEAT Leon Cupra 5F Stage 2 Tuning
For owners looking for additional performance, Stage 2 tuning can offer further gains when the appropriate supporting hardware modifications are installed.
With a suitable setup and supporting upgrades, the SEAT Leon Cupra 5F can produce up to approximately 390 BHP and 520 Nm of torque.
Supporting modifications may include:
- Performance intake systems
- Upgraded intercooling and cooling components where required
- Performance exhaust components
- Improved airflow components
- Supporting hardware appropriate to the chosen setup
Stage 2 tuning requires the vehicle and its supporting modifications to be assessed before calibration. The condition of the engine, turbocharger, fuel system and cooling system must also be considered.

Depending on the exact gearbox and control unit fitted, transmission calibration may offer:

- Optimised shift behaviour
- Improved transmission response under acceleration
- Better coordination between engine and gearbox performance
Exact gearbox and control unit compatibility must be confirmed before any transmission tuning is carried out.
