Noise isn’t too bad to be honest, but I had pops and bangs mapped in, so when ever lifting off and slowing down sounds like a shot gun going off:thumbup::thumbup: In the process of pricing up front mounts haha, what’s the point of having a turbo designed for 450/460 and not running it haha:yes:

Well sports cat on, mapped to suit, made 392bhp 465Nm, intake temps causing timing to be pulled, so next on the list will be a front mount. But that’ll be a while off cos will need to upgrade the clutch at the same time. Happy with how it preforms so going to enjoy it now for a while. Maybe do...

Yea, I’ve heard of a few of the turbos going on these, same with the golf r and s3’s aswell. Was informed sports cat will be fine for MOT’s, the only reason I went for it over a decat to be honest. Love the colour like:thumbup:

Don’t know what caused it to go, shaft had snapped and caused compressor wheel to explode. Suspect another faulty is38

Well turbo was fitted and mapped along with forge intake elbow and Integrated Engineering intake/filter, car made pretty much same power figures as looks like the standard cat is restricting flow. Booked in on Friday for 034 Motorsports Sports Cat and then mapped to suit:thumbup:

Looking good fella. Bilt Hamber gear is spot on, I use their wheel cleaner, snow foam and clay bar.

Well an update guys, the dreaded happened last Saturday morning on the way home from work, the turbo let go:cry: But on a happier note, ordered a Littco L450 Hybrid, which should be here on Thursday and fitted ready for the weekend. Not going to bother pushing the new turbo as I'm happy with...

Got the car back, filter still hasn’t been delivered, and forge stuff on back order, bloody typical. Still had Scorpion non res cat back fitted, sounds awesome, really happy with it. Also had map too, temps were mad hot, so affected mapping. Still made 352 bhp and 460Nm, goes well, difference...

Well update guys, dropped car off yesterday, today getting Scorpion cat back non res fitted, forge intake elbow, forge dog bone mount, hopefully if they remember forge spacers for the rear and then a map aswell. Roll on picking the car up tonight :rock:

Hmmm, I may have to take a couple as unsure which I prefer:thumbup:

Looks like you all had a cracking days guys and girls. Hopefully will fall on me weekend off next year and I can make the journey down:thumbup:

I emailed them the other day, they sent me the link the following morning for the beta app

Sack that guys, managed to find them. Wasn’t looking hard enough haha

Can anyone point me in the right direction for turning the diff setting using Carista also the false engine sound?

Lol, not quite yet, Mr Plastic coming in handy though haha

And so it continues haha, just fitted GFB DVX Blow Off Valve today, class bit of kit, has a lever on the side so you can adjust weather it works as a recirc or an atmospheric valve. https://www.awesomegti.com/shop-by-brand/gfb/gfb-dvx-blow-off-valve-for-vag-2-0tfsi-ea888-gen3-engines/ Also...

Mad ain't it, something as simple as changing rubber can have such a massive difference:)

Well Michelin Pilot Sport 4s fitted to the fronts, what a transformation this has made, like being on rails. Awesome upgrade.

Was price that swayed me for the scorpion in the end, local tuner/specialist doing me a cracking deal on it so thought why not, also quoted me a good price on a stage one and also dog mount insert:thumbup:

Thanks James I’ll keep the thread updated with the progress
