I love the car now, feels brand new and is sooo much more responsive. Sounds perfect as well, at normal driving it doesn't really sound much different and then when the throttles down it sounds incredible.

The only downside to getting a map and fitting at AmD northampton is there was no rolling road thus no printout, however i shall be finding a set of rollers at some point in the near future to get a printout :)

Bought a new cone filter to replace the black one that i had in there as its been on a while. I wanted a red one and managed to find one at autosiliconehoses.com and was a bargain price so decided id give it a crack!

Nice car mate :)
Personally I'd put some wheel spacers on it next, it makes the stance so much better. What's the exhaust sound like now then? I've just ordered a milltek non res cat back for mine and I can't wait. In a few months I'll be getting the downpipe too

Hi pal, i saw your car on the vag tuning stand on the saturday! Did you take it up the strip? I didn't say hello due to being with some other friends who were eager to look around everywhere lol Nah not been to one yet although we could try and get a couple of us together from scn and maybe take some summer pics etc?

Cheers pal :) yeah spacers are a must, after going to inters and seeing a majority of the ibizas there with a nice stance id left me feeling like it needs to be done! Is yours mapped? and i presume its a 20vt? If so it helps you really hear the turbo spool and when you boot it from around 3k revs it sounds phenomenal. Yet still sounds relatively normal when driving at normal 30/40mph town speeds!
