\"SEAT<\/a><\/p>\n

Turbo Elite<\/a> spent six months building a special SEAT Le\u00f3n Cupra<\/a> for Jamie Sonuga from Officially Gassed<\/a> at their company in Austria. In the engine bay they swapped a turbocharged 3.6 L VR6 capable of 1007 hp (740 kW) and 921 Nm (679 lb-ft) to the wheels on 2.1 bar (30.4 psi) of boost. The motor features forged internals, Gravituned billet girdle, Turbo Elite custom exhaust manifold, Don Octane intake manifold, Wagner Tuning intercooler, and Comp water-cooled 88 mm turbocharger. Fuel is fed by three pumps through 12 1200 cc injectors controlled by a Turbo Elite custom ECU. The powerful motor is paired to a Kotou\u010d Racing 0A6 seven-speed sequential<\/a>, custom driveshaft, and Audi S3 rear end with a Wavetrac limited-slip differential and custom axles. The car rides on a Verkline tubular front subframe with KW V3 adjustable coilovers, and Brembo front calipers in front with 320 mm rotors. Each each corner are Black Industries 17-inch wheels with Hoosier DR2 slicks. <\/p>\n
