    Just gassing- colour scheme for harnesses and roll cage

    it depends on your cage type. A cage where the front legs trace down the A-pillars will require the dash removing. All the seats and steering wheel MUST come out for a cage install anyway. A cage where the front legs drop down in front of the dash like an OMPAB-105P will not require dash...

    t0m's LCR AmD Stage 2 - Turini's, Wavetrac LSD, Recaro's..

    The shims will not effect power output. Result sounds bang on the money for the spec and it seems the rollers are reading spot on. Good work by AMD I say :) beautiful car this!

    IH786's LCR BBT K04 - Full spec list on page 1!! / Colour change - Finished?

    car sounds fantastic mate, how are you enjoying it now that you have it back? it's a lovely looking setup for sure. As you know, mine was mapped again last week too, and it's finally cracked that 350 figure leaving ****** with 353 from a very similar setup to yours. It's all in the timing it...

    Dv & waste gate removal!!

    this guy cannot be for real..... How does one remove a wastegate exactly? turbo off and remove the penny washer? that'd give you no boost at all. Remove the actuator perhaps which is so often wrongly called a wastegate, and you've got nothing to hold the wastegate shut.... Weld up the penny...

    Best FMIC for a LC?

    another option, if you want to save some time / effort, is to re-use the original charge pipe instead of the first alloy 90 off the turbo. Do do this, use a 51-51 straight coupler, and mount the old charge pipe backwards sticking up and forwards from the turbo, then use a 51-63 reducer to go...

    Best FMIC for a LC?

    This is my version of the Welly cooler, for the A3. This arrangement is for a ko3 framed turbo, and should work with minimal/zero trimming of the pipes/silicon. Ko4 fitment is slightly different, replacing the turbo outlet pipe with a 54-63mm silicon reducer. This is the core, as owned by many...

    Wild Willy's Leon Cupra R- 325 Badger Horse Power.

    Good results Willy :) a few questions though, as always! The trans losses seem unusually high, 253 at the wheels, and 325 at the flywheel? mine recorded 254 at the wheels yet just 291 at the crank on the conservative map it was on previously, so much, much lower losses. I wonder if that's a...

    track day advice

    Ronnin has it, it'll be the ARB hitting the driveshaft. Because the gearbox isn't central to the car, this only effects the right hand side wheel, which explains the 'left corners' problem you have when the front right wheel is compressed. Before people all start telling you what you should do...

    who said you cant go euro on a cupra

    Wheels aside (I couldn't care less), has nobody else picked up on the 'grinding brake calipers' down comment? Grinding your brake calipers down for a wheel fitment is a terrifying idea. You should never be messing with something so safety critical like that. Weakening the brake calipers is...

    Dan's GTX3582r, 2.0 20v, project '600'

    Personally, I think that's a bullshit sales figure. In theory yes, a 2871 should make 400bhp on a 20vt, but it simply doesn't happen. Even the lads on 3071's are only seeing high 300's often. So long as it drives well Dan, that's all that matters! I'd be very interested to see how it...

    Dan's GTX3582r, 2.0 20v, project '600'

    336.8bhp, interesting. Wellys hybrid, now on my car, is also a ko4 housing, and that topped out at 338bhp. I'm seeing a pattern! Wonder where mine will top out when it's allowed to go nuts. Lovely torque though Dan, Interesting how the torque curve follows an identical plot to the ko4, just...

    maf / boost guage

    AMD OR Awesome? theyre two different companies. What's the car? 1 bar on a remap sounds low. 1.4 bar sounds far more likely to be the correct figure.

    Loud turbo after mods

    yup, imagine your girlfriends hair dryer on speed 1, it makes some noise. Now turn it up to speed 2, it's blowing much more air, drying her hair quicker, and making a lot more noise. It's exactly the same with your turbo :)

    UniSettings - Exhaust Pops On Overrun

    When pops and backfires are a natural byproduct of how a car is tuned, then that's absolutely fine. When you're going out of your way to make your modern and refined engine and management pop and bang because it's 'cool', then that's not OK. it's a bit sad....

    Cupra R Gearbox Change - Hard Job ?

    I did a 6 speed box swap on the side of the pavement in Pompey once using only halfords basic tools. Not a nice job, but do-able in a day for sure if you're reasonably competent.

    Forge 007p fitting

    it makes a stupid noise when it's in backwards. Backwards is wrong, look at the physics/ pressures involved and it's clearly wrong. Put it the right way round. You're not going to get any sound without an air filter anyway.
