Whoops let me rephrase it made an extra 20 bhp so nows its at 216

I think it felt slower because it never made peak torque until higher in rev range but it holds it a lot longer so worth it in the end

Ok got a dyno run today and turns out it made 20 bhp and held peak torque a lot longer in rev range happy days

Cheers for replies will report back after dyno run

That was my thoughts exactly it just doesnt accelerate as quickly especially 3.5k onwards, decided to get it dynoed hopefully this weekend cheers

Hello just a quick question for anyone who has fitted a seat sport front mount intercooler after a remap did you have to get the map adjusted to suit the larger cooler and pipework? My car previously had a custom map with pd150 turbo putting down 195 bhp with stock side mount, now i have fitted the full darkside frount mount and pipework setup and it feels like i have lost power along whole rev range? Definetly no leaks it holds boost at 24 psi (used to be 26-27) cheers

Hello just a quick question for starters I have made my own upper boost pipe following the guide from one of the members on this site buying the indiviudal silicone hoses and quick release connections but i was wondering for when i go to buy my darkside intercooler pipework it asks if i retain the egr or not which i am but they are charging an extra £35 for the quick release connection so im just wondering if the one i have already which is type d the exact same as the one darkside would supply? just trying to save a wee bit of cash since the kit overall is very expensive. Cheers.

Also thanks for the replies not too sure what all the arguing is about but the reason I use my fogs a lot is at car meets etc

Whats What makes my hids illegal?

Hello just a quick question is it possible that my LED sidelights are the reason my foglight bulbs keep going pop? Ever since I fitted canbus led sidelights i have had to replace at least 6 fog light bulbs in the past 7 or 8 months and its no easy job to replace them but ever since i removed the led sidelights and put in factory ones the foglights are still ok? Just a coincidence or are they connected in anyway because of canbus? The reason im asking is im fitting a hid kit and got projector headlights on the way and would like led sidelights again but im concerned about the foglights popping. Thanks.

Hello mate I know its been like 3 years since you started this thread for having a boot leak but I was wondering where else you sealed before doing the hinges and hairlines cracks in paint? I have a serious leak on both sides and have sealed under the roof trim pointed out in your thread and I have siliconed the hell out of the hinges and waters still running in no problem at all. Any ideas? Thanks.

Its a 2006 with 75k i searched and searched online and another possible source of leak is under the roof trim for roof rack apparebtly water can get in there at far end where boot is so gonna have a look

OK just had a look to see how bad it is today and i actually saw a drip of water fall down and also found out its actually both sides thats leaking surely someones experienced this before?? is it leaking at hinges or ariel perhaps??

Could be thnks will have a look

No it all looks fine it looks like it is actually running down the chassis somehow although i spent a while searching and it might be the rear wiper washer jet leaking so i drained the tank and ran the rear washer till it ran out to test if it is actually that,hopefully find a fix soon because the smell is horrible

Hello got a pretty bad leak above where the tailight bolts on and everytime it rains the whole drivers side of the boot gets soaked and has a bad smell of dampness has anyone ever had issues like this before? The waters running down the inside of the chassis and i cant see how its getting in any help would be much appreciated thanks

delete this duplicate thanks

delete this duplicate thanks

Ok thanks the main reason for the cooler was to make it more efficient especially in summer, im thinking of a hybrid turbo now lol

Hey guys I have a few questions about adding more power to my VRS, currently the only mods are K&N panel filter, egr delete, mufflerectomy and PD150 turbo and has been mapped to 195bhp and 330 ib ft. I am quite happy with this setup but was wondering at what bhp output would I need to upgrade to PD150 head bolts? I plan on getting a darkside front mount intercooler, full stainless decat with bigger bore exhaust system and a cone filter just for the noise really haha and eventually an ugraded clutch and flywheel. Second question being if I add an intercooler, cone filter and full new decat exhaust system (currently has cat) will I need to get it mapped again? It already has a custom map but would be nice if i didnt have spend close to £300 again. As always Cheers.

Hello anyone near falkirk/stirling area that could give me a hand to fit a leon cupra r splitter? Cheers.

Cheers Adam i'll look into it, my battery setup is the same as DubDub's.

Where did you get it from Adam? Im sure someone said a ASZ one wouldn't fit?

Hello I'm not new but have been a member for a while now but want to start using the forums again and start attending car meets. I have a black mk1 Fabia Vrs that I haven't had much good luck with but hopefully I can start putting money into actual mods now instead of repairs! Here's a few pics (it will get completely changed in near future hopefully) http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/s464/jaynov21/IMG_3310.jpg http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/s464/jaynov21/IMG_3322.jpg http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/s464/jaynov21/IMG_3351.jpg http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/s464/jaynov21/IMG_3359.jpg http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/s464/jaynov21/IMG_3343.jpg http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/s464/jaynov21/IMG_3530.jpg

I looked into a battery cover also but there isn't one on a BLT engine unfortunatly which is odd.
