To be replaced by a LOBA270 ............?

 No a special made turbo with stronger internals stronger seals etc..

 a company from the netherlands . C&E turbos . They only make turbos . There quite know from the racing scene .. 

New turbo cost me about 650 euro . 

A weaker oem one would cost me a grand.

That's never a good update to read. Any other damage? Does it affect the supercharger when the turbo lets go?

No other damage has been done . Its my fault i caked the turbo . Riding to fast on a cooler engine and cutting a hot engine off . .. feel bad about it . Never going to do that again.

[Fabia VRS MKII mods, detailing, repairs, nurburgring etc..]

Air intake oem modifications .

So as i found out some time ago the air intake (oem) does not really helps my airflow. So i got the middle part out . 

Cut away some plastics .

Put it back upside down.

Put in some screws and mount that pipe that goes to the filter housing upside down. 

100% better airflow .only it needs a filtercheck ones an a while ..

So this right here costs nothing . So i dont need to spend many euros on a upgraded intake ..

Ive bought some philips LED lights h7 today . Fitted them with my buddy . They are awesome. Bright white with a little bleu'ish tint 

[Fabia VRS MKII mods, detailing, repairs, nurburgring etc..]

Okay so ive ordered new grilles OEM and a milotec upper grille . Now its coming along perfect.

Also notice the black drl's

And a new vrs logo

[Fabia VRS MKII mods, detailing, repairs, nurburgring etc..]

Allright . So thx to my previous grill mod. I could take the grilles off WITHOUT  removing the bumper.

The blistering paint wont come off so ive ordered new grilles for the drls and lower honeycomb grill .

The upper grill will be replaced with a milotec honeycomb one...

Whilsth the grilles where off i took the liberty of cleaning bugs out off the radiator and intercooler...

Coming on nice . 

The black drls insert looks so much better.

[Fabia VRS MKII mods, detailing, repairs, nurburgring etc..]

Drl mod gloss black inside

[Fabia VRS MKII mods, detailing, repairs, nurburgring etc..]

Had a visitor today xD

This is so awesome.

 

[Fabia VRS MKII mods, detailing, repairs, nurburgring etc..]

So finally doing some more mods to the car.

Opened up the DRL'S . The chrome trim inside will be gloss black. Because one fell of and the other had a water leak so it hazed up all the time . 

Did a wiper delete also. Maybe make an intercooler spraybar ... mcm style

I know you should not need to go to 5th to get to 62 mph, it should just be going into 4th.

 

5th is needed at 100 mph / 161 km/h on an unmapped one usually.

The DSG will change in manual up into 4th.

Just mentioning it as it usually gives a quicker 1/4 mile time and terminal speed than S or D.

Maybe ill try it next weekend and i give an update here . She is mapped to 220 bhp. Lighter wheels . Seats removed and also spare wheel. 

So now i noticed its really loud inside ..

And ill go for a diy straight pipe soon.

[Fabia VRS MKII mods, detailing, repairs, nurburgring etc..]

Its quite accurate actually . And i dont need to go to 5th gear to go to 100kmh...

Wont buy a vbox just for that. 

Would try manual with traction off . Maybe someday . Glad to see my car does 5.5sec to get to 100k
