The direct injection TFSI engine, which VW has recently started to fit, promises a great deal of tuning potential.
By means of modification to the engine management system, JE DESIGN squeezes 180/(244) kW/(bhp) and 355 Nm from this 2 litre turbo-charged four-cylinder engine, which otherwise generates 147/(200) kW/(bhp) and 280 Nm in the Seat Leon.
This power boost enables this handsome Spaniard to race along 13 km/h faster than the standard version.
Even more impressive than the top speed of 242 km/h is the awesome acceleration.
The 6.4 seconds it takes to sprint from 0 to 100 instead of the standard 7.3 speak for themselves!
The acceleration boost comes complete with a TÜV parts certificate.
Needless to say, after this power enhancement, the engine still complies with the EI regulations.
