Mk1 Fabia VRS Tow Bar - LEGAL
andypandypoos replied to pebo90's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
I wouldn't trust the word of someone on the end of the phone at the DVLA -
what's best for each person depends on the person, for sure

there's no "could" about it, it's a fact. people seem to get suckered in by peak numbers and ignore drivability and the old area under the graph chestnut. in my experience (with a PD160, admittedly) the improvement going from a hybrid to a 2260 is greater than going from standard to hybrid. the oil feed/return pipes are a "can be reused if undamaged following removal and not blocked" item, you don't need to replace boost pipes or TIP. brackets? the whole point is that the smaller GTB turbos people are selling are a straight swap apart from the downpipe, that's you're whole extra expense for a turbo whose innards have been made by a company that's been making turbos for 60 years
-
you don't need an exhaust, diff, manifold, MAP sensor, cam, TIP, etc...etc...clutch and intercooler are as necessary as they would be for a hybrid turbo. someone has already said they got a GTB1756VK from xman for £500 so why would you buy a (potentially questionable) hybrid turbo for £50 less than an off the shelf, non-****ed about with turbo? if you wanted to you could get a GTB fitted and mapped for about half of your estimate, and that's at 'over-priced' Darkside prices

four grand? ok

I would definitely go small GTB over a hybrid

I'm fully aware of that. I know, you know, every ****er knows that you don't use M$ when referring to Microsoft to avoid confusion with said medical condition -
Coilovers people's experiences
andypandypoos replied to Miniracer's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
put a set of JOM coilovers on a mk4 Golf, they were bouncy and ****e. cheap though got some H&R jobbies on the Ibiza and they're pretty firm but generally lots better, not so cheap though -
