Don't trust torque after these measurements lol. Would love to have that power. Psi is correct for mine though. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Not sure on tolerance but I would assume that when compressor fins are rubbing on casing then that be time to recon turbo as there then be resistance on turbo spin and fragments of ally being drawn through engine. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Be worth removing rocker cover and check for sludge build up from oil getting to hot and caramelizing in engine.... also air filter. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

If veins stuck or blocked then not much fresh cool air will be drawn through turbo, which only leaves high volume of exhaust gasses flowing through turbo, hence turbo will get extremely hot. Like my mates Ibiza FR had blocked filter which had big bulge from suction of turbo and melted turbo...

Could possibly be VNT veins in turbo, if I'm correct they can get blocked up, also check actuator is working, if stuck open you get no boost. Even though you can hear turbo spin up. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Check timing. Make sure aligned properly as sounds like one cam is out causing back pressure. Or possibly oil breather from bottom to top of engine blocked.... Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Start engine from cold. When temp gauge on dash starts to move check pipes going to radiator. Should still be cold. When temp gauge gets to normal running temp they should get hot as the stat opens to keep engine cool. If not warming up then stat is seized closed. Change thermostat..... if...

Hello mate Yeah sound good.only thing back box alone not really do much, sound slightly changes pitch. Would recommend full stainless with 70mm pipe, this would give more sound and power as exhaust gas flows quicker. I check these pics. I was reading on here about flaps in inlet manifold on...

Hello Sorry been a while but having lots of great from CSA and getting Cafcass for visit dates. Hope all ok. I've recently found out I need to rebuild engine lol Shall be fun Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Be worth keeping eye on coolant as could be water pump. Or power steering pump. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

To check where noise coming from u can use a long screwdriver and place end on different parts on engine and your ear to handle end. Bit like placing a glass on wall and listening. Easy way to check alternator bearings. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Hi Only thing I can say is that when changing disc size you usually have to change the carriers aswell. Or you could probably get away with buying bigger carriers and use old calipers on bigger discs. Do know that some Porsche brembos are compatible with VW SEAT SKODA and Audi. Usually just...

Cold engine means oil slightly thicker , could be that or cold engine uses choke system till warm. Choke uses extra fuel. Giving higher exhaust flow till warm which maybe source of turbo spin. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Hi Not to sire about mk1's I'm old lol not fully with current abbreviated mod names. Lol But basics be large alloy intercooler and solid boost pipe kit. Full stainless axhaust Those be more power Sure you can get hybrid turbo yours, could get it up to 300 bhp Powerflex bushes make car more...

You've done simular to me in buying one cheap and fix it up.. I have leon FR tdi 2.0 pd170. Purchased for 3000 with Smokey turbo. All diesels smoke lol fitted K&n element into original air box as they already set up with cold air induction. I changed all front bushes to powerflex except top...

Got a big project then sorting that out. Be careful you don't melt turbo!!!!! Air getting blocked starves turbo of fresh cool air means it over heats like my cuzons did. Needed new turbo. Recommend k & N filter element that fits in existing air box, as for dash light, that could be switch or...

All sounds like usual Leon lol As for you DSG box fella Get it remapped! Yes the gearbox has it's own ECU. As you will know, if in PADAL mode and slowing down and you don't change down it does it itself. Remap stops that, gives you 100% control, you then have to change down or it will stall...

Whilst i was working at SEAT deslership My cuzon purchased a new 08 FR Ibiza n had to do 1000 miles before remap. Nothing modded. It simular speed to my leon FR tdi 240bhp. Boot light possibly water pipe that leaking in tailgate as other bloke said around led brake light in top of tailgate...

Hello mate The pd130 engine can be remapped straight to 190bhp with no engine mods. Also diesels have a lot higher torque, basically pulling power. Ibiza cupra at 190bhp and diesel at 190bhp, both doing 100mph then foot down and diesel will pull away from the cupra. Electrical issue could be...

I expect it be the same for mk3 and mk4 Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
