Sorry to inform you guys but I run one and my turbo's gone pop after 34k

So beware................................

Garrett or KKK ?

I don't the think the 2 will be directly correlated. Just my opinion.

Yeah its hit and miss really

Happens on standard cars... just whack a hybrid on it... least it never took anything major with it

VERY few Fabia had Garretts.

I'm struggling to see how a decat can influence turbo failure. More likely to be poor servicing, not letting the turbo cool down/warm up correctly, or not giving it beans often enough! :P

KKK, but thought it'd last a little longer saying I dont hooon it aroung all the time

Ooooooh yes as you have already posted in my other thread. Just getting a few quotes now on the turbo, cooler and a clutch

and therein lies the problem :P

I would put money on the two not being connected. I ran one on my golf for 40k and had no problems. I know the fabia's turbo is weaker, but driven reasonably the turbo would be fine.

I did 6 kkk's in, with and without decat. I too do not think it is directly connected.

Lemme know what prices you get etc for the turbo's and IC's as it will save me some leg work

No probs, will post them up. Hopefully Jabba etc might post up some nice prices and get some price wars going for our custom

Yeah allard used to do VT3's aswell but they've since been removed from there site, theres no real advertisation / prices / pics etc for PD130 turbo's etc - well not that i've seen really

Id say a Turbo Dynamics Stage 2 should do nicely

Sell me yours then, hehe. Any joy on your sale?

Couple of days to go yet. If it doesnt meet the very realistic reserve, it may be "broken" back to standard.

Ooooooh can I have first "vulturing"??? Plus your local, I'm in Preston

Sorry for bold but need to get this noticed here goes.....

Is there anything on group buys for this as we regular use Jabba etc ?????:confused:

If there isn't I think it would be best to sort it out as we must spend thousands with them.

Who is in the know of sorting this out if so ????:confused:

Im with you too littlebull. I've got cash waiting so I'm sure they can sort something

Bloody shame mate ! Have you put add's up on other sites such as piston heads autotrader etc ??? Could save you a lot of hassle.

Its on here, ebay and pistonheads. I thought Auto trader was a bit pointless with it being like it is. I'll advertise any bits and deals on here if it doesnt sell on Ebay by Wed.

BTT

I find that after the remap + decat, it is very hard to not use the turbo when accelerating and this becomes an issue when cold, i have to press the throttle very very lightly and very gingerly accelerate to slowly warm the turbo up. I was told that this is why some people blow their turbo's rather than the fact that it's remapped and decatted.

Loads of people run decats and remaps on SEATCUPRA on the Ibiza PD130's with no problems

We're a bit funny about decats on the fabia's standard kkk, there's virturally no back pressure and it's difficult to stop the turbo from running away at high engine speeds..

As people have probably pointed out, the KKK is a weak unit, and is better replaced with a garret.

Ive had 2 turbo's go whilst having a cat, and one go without... the one without mostly due to running 2.0BAR for a laugh

Like everyone else, dont think if you get a de-cat your turbo will blow up. It will blow up as you drive it like you stole it, or nanny it, then try and give it some every couple of years!
