Should of done this prior but just gone and read through all the 2021 - current thread that I missed prior - Think I am just going to rebuild Mine as a stock turbo - JBS looks like a amazing option but it's now 2.4k (With map) and it will still want a sport cat. 200hp would be amazing and I am sure it pulls like a rocket but until I have even more money to throw at this car just going to leave it with the modest 147. More than enough to get me in trouble! Got 135 out of it so not too shabby!

Wow what a result! I am considering this atm as my current stock turbo has a bit of play in the shaft and slightly worried about it blowing up haha. I am also running a forge Intake W/ a silicon turbo 90 deg pipe as well and yes very Darth Vader and a lovely lift of noise (probs what has killed my turbo as these don't have a bov) - When I just had the intake (no turbo 90 and no catback) Mine was mapped to 147hp and 260nm of tq (rolling road - Revo tune - Runs good) I am surprised it doesn't put out that much more tq with the bigger turbo. But I bet that power increase at the top end is noticeable! And with longer lag I am assuming? Any issues with it running thus far? Is that with stock injectors and fuel pump? I have read before of people putting in a better fuel pump and the 1.4 tsi Injectors with the big turbo to get it to 200hp ish. Also if you haven't already Definity get some better brakes! I run EBC Yellowstuff Pads W/ Brembo drilled rotors (front only) They are a bit meh when super cold but they can take 3 or so fast stops from 100+ Before really getting hot and honestly I think its my brake fluid that is the limiting power as the pedal goes really stiff but If I push hard enough it does stop (very aggressively) Thank you for any info and hope you enjoy your little pocket rocket!

Ahhh thank you. I reckon that's it then. Put a new ring on but I guess it didn't sit right? I had a bit of trouble finding a wheel bearing that fit anyhow. One from euro the splines didn't match up right

Yeah I remember fighting to keep that centred when putting the driveshaft back in.

Ah noo. Fair enough I did the wheel bearing 3 months ago? So that would fit. Did that myself but yeah would rather pay next time

This is the old abs sensor. Looks worn down. Doesn't seem right

@gcaseyI'm really hoping that's not my problem. Put in a brand new battery and no change. I did a wheel bearing in the front left a while ago and it came about after that so just put in a new abs sensor on that side. Plus the old one looked destroyed. No avail. Might need a proper diagnostics check I guess... I've got a obd2 reader but it tells me nothing on the subject. Ahh time to drop the gearbox I guess...

Yeah I can do one tomorrow. I work at Halfords so ez pz

Thankyou I will check my connections it is the original battery over the winter it said low voltage but it still stop starts on long journeys

Hello I have a 2016 fabia estate with the 90hp 1.2 tsi. Last night when pulling into a McDonald's I had all of these errors pop up. This was just after leaving the motorway and hitting some A roads coming home from work. I restarted many times and through the drivethrough too no avail. I started driving again about 10 minutes later (engine had been running the entire time) all the lights went off one by one and everything was fine. On a short drive this morning it all happened again whilest moving. And it didn't go away in the 10 mile drive home. Luckily no limp mode but has anyone had this issue before? The ECU felt very hot on the firewall so I thought that was it, but it is not as hot today as yesterday. Any suggestions would be appreciated thankyou

Hello! What you have done here is very interesting. Couple of questions. Cost of the turbo + install? Reliability? Standard ECU? How the rest of the car handles with this new found speed haha I've got a 2016 Monte Carlo estate and am very interested in making it faster. Looks really really interesting getting that from a 1.2
