alright mate, thats my car i was gonna post and mention about it but i didn't want to be forward, it is a superb car though and i'm gutted to be letting it go, i had decided to let it go as the wife was expecting , unfortunately thats not the case anymore but its still made my mind up to let it go and get a family car ( managed to persuade her that a mk2 ibiza cupra is a family car lol.) keep posting mate then you could pm me, there was a girl e-mailing me yesterday and she'll get back to me today i think. but its an absolute minter for its age.

i have an AMK engine and my turbo has an egt sensor on it. Early AMK engines used ko4-022 turbo's that are identical to the latter BAM & AMK KO4-023 turbos but without the sensor. It is handy to be able to log turbo temp using vagcom when tuning though.

Makes no real difference, wich you choose really. Having had both, from a driving point of view there is s*d all difference!!!! Only thing you notice from driving seat is mirrors and wheel, thats it, speed, grunt etc feel the same, it is only 15Bhp or less than 7.5% after all!

unless of course you're comparing a brand new model from seat with an extra 15bhp, in which case it will leave you for dust :whistle:

Not even 15bhp mate, sure its only 10bhp.
Sure the 210 was actually 212bhp and the 225 was only 222bhp.
Sure someone will either back me up or shoot me down.
