Today’s feature is one seriously angry hot hatch… a fully forged big turbo SEAT Leon Cupra R pushing 480BHP through the front wheels! Built around the legendary 1.8 20v turbo engine, this Mk1 Leon has been transformed into a raw street and track weapon. Running a forged bottom end, oversized pistons, forged rods, Supertech valves and a Garrett G25-550 turbo setup with external wastegate, this Leon delivers brutal power at 30psi of boost. Tuned by Badger5 and paired with an Ignitron ECU setup, it’s a proper old-school turbo experience with aggressive boost delivery and insane turbo noises.
