just wait till your turbo goes pop like i have haha

Thats what I did as well. Didn't see a point in puting a standard on back on.

I bought mine all done. Not much difference over a good mapped fab. Mates just had his all changed but he sourced parts himself so was a little cheaper. His is running lower power/torque as he has standard clutch. In gear he sticks to me bumper. Just buy a larger car that already has that amount of bhp rather than spending the dollar on the fab.

No its not IMHO!

The best thing to do is fit a PD150 turbo - Second hand one for £300ish and run the standard cooler, standard clutch and run about 190bhp

I went down the hybrid route.... and have spent

£450 on a Cooler+ Pipework

£950 Sachs clutch & Noisey Flywheel - everyone thinks its broken

£700 Hybrid turbo

£400 on a map

£500 on a Piper Turbo Back exhaust (not essential but it helps)

For an extra 40~ BHP... Just not worth it really.. Dont get me wrong it goes really well but....

£3000+ Labour if you don't do it yourself.... for 40bhp...

that's 40bhp peak though and doesn't tell anything like the whole story

Personal preference though isnt it. Some rather a manic fabia/ibiza with 200+ bhp others rather something else.

Also as above (and as i`v just posted in another thread) peak power is only half the story.

165bhp = 14.7

220bhp = 13.5

Down the 1/4

Is the extra power worth it... well yes imho. You guys spending £500 on an exhaust are idiots.

Yes defiantly I got up to 206bhp and 377 lbs

For sub 2k forum and eBay shopping.as said before 40 peak horse power doesn't tell the story
