Tuning first car ?
Posted by After_Dealer_1067@reddit | askcarguys | View on Reddit | 2 comments
hello, i just bought my first car 2012 seat Leon in 1.2 tsi, (77kw, it was owned by leasing company so completely stock with good history)
and I was wondering if its worth it doing some stage 1/ stage 2 mods? (chip, air intake, downpipe or whatever) or to keep it stock as a reliable daily ? I really wanted more power but this car was greatly valued and I was swayed by the history and the yellow look. Still iam kinda not sire about it, even if iam happy I still wonder I could have more power. is it worth tuning the 1.2 engine? I already bought new rims and wheels with some looks customisation though.

Is it 'worth' it? Absolutely not. Those generic Chips are all marketing nonsense.
An actual tune will do something, but they are expensive and you'll be buying a new turbo soon. It's a 15 year old Seat, leave it alone ... Save your money for upgrading cars in the futureĀ

First car so id probably consider insurance over performance they aren't kind on undeclared mods and do know where to look when something happens
