IF ANYONE HAS BEEN SCAMMED BY THIS COMPANY YOU MUST REPORT IT TO UK Action Fraud Police Centre - it's the only way they are going to brought to justice and moved onto someone's lap in major fraud's department. Please go to https://actionfraud.police.uk and use the "Start Reporting" option and fill out the details, the more people we have come forward the higher the chance something will be done about it. I received a "SACHS" Clutch kit comprised of Pressure Plate, Clutch and DMF - the only part that was SACHS genuine was the DMF, the other two parts were as above were "relined" cheap knockoff clutch and cheap looking pressure plate. I still have the package waiting to send back to them, just gathering all the evidence I can, will take a photo of the hard copy (thanks for that tip). They cannot be allowed to get away with this and what they don't realise is "If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. :-D

Dan, How's the hybrid turbo going? Got it working ok now? Thanks, S10EAT

Dan, How's the mapping coming along for your new turbo? Any progress? Thanks, S10EAT

Dan, Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Yeah the s3 intercooler is about 1/2 inch thicker than the standard pd150 intercooler, main reason for replacement is getting rid of the last of the stupidest vag invention, those damn clip connectors!!! I was tempted by the airtec intercooler but already have the sfs kit so would not be using all of what I pay for the kit. My turbo has been making the common "police siren" noise for the past six months so really needs replacing ASAP, plus my avg mpg at the moment is about 35-40 which is shocking! I hope the mapping goes well and good luck with the ongoing build! Thanks, S10EAT

Not so good about the windscreen! How much does faboka charge for maps like this? My setup is similar to yours but mine being the pd150, waiting for xmans 1749vc turbo to arrive and then have got an s3 intercooler (replacing leaky oem intercooler) to fit and mapping. Only thing I'm concerned about is getting the actuator length right, I see you mentioned it took a few goes above, did you lengthen it or shorten it? What's the spool like on the new turbo and are you still getting good mpg? Cheers, S10EAT

Awesome build thread Dan, how's the 1749vc turbo going? Are you doing the mapping yourself or getting someone to send you a map to upload? Had it on the dyno yet? Cheers, S10EAT

Can anyone shed anymore light on how they got on with the 1749vc hybrid from Xman? I've got a pd150 to fit it to and just wondering how people got on with setting it up and mapping correctly? Thanks, S10EAT
