    Hi all, I have had the car taken to Stage 2 and it's performed fantastically with only the 3bar FPR with good IDCs I am told. I would like to logs these, which block is this? I have a 4Bar FPR (which I understand is needed for REVO - I'm not using REVO) new & unused, what would happen if I...

    N75J Fitted - Huge Turbo Whistle & DV Blow Off

    Hi all. So, this isn't a problem with my car, far from it and *touch wood* my car is perfect once more. Anyway, I had my OE N75 valve fail on my recently and I couldn't boost at all, the valve just bled all of my boost down to the wastegate so I had an opportunity to try out a 'J' valve to...

    Boost Issue - It's Flat

    Wahey! Another issue. Right, so the car revs to redline and boost somewhat but it's lost it's urgency and punch in the back, obviously acceleration is slower too. I have no fault codes and ive tried all three DVs (007, split-r and OE) but I have noticed that the DV blow off sound is quieter...

    Bigger Injectors - Stage 2 LCR - OE K04

    Hi all, I know I'm not the only one so I thought I'd post up in here for some more info. A lot of us running Stage 2 map/Stage 2 mods/3" TIP are now maxxing out our fuel injectors with 220g/s+ airflow readings which is no good. I'm not totally clued up on the matter but my understanding is...

    Greasing Poly Bushes

    Hi all, what grease is best to use for lubricating poly bushes, ARB bushes specifically? I'm looking for something hardy and weather resistant, preferably silicone based or otherwise and not mineral based so that I run the risk of it degrading the bush. I've been recommended silicone spray...

    Cleaning An Intercooler

    Hi all, I assume this is the right place to post this :shrug:. Anyway, My FMIC is looking a little grubby from the elements and I wonder what the best was is to clean these? Obviously the outer edges can have metal polish applied but can I pressure wash the core safely to clean it a little...

    Where Can Oil Leak From Onto DP? (LCR)

    Before I call the scrap man up to take this hateful thing away, can anyone answer the above question? I now have a distinct 'oil burning on exhaust' smell coming from the back of the engine bay with a little smoke to go with it (as you'd expect from burning oil). There is no oil burning from...

    Hi all, well I'm joining the club for boost leaks. I leak tested the car again today and what I couldn't hear before or what was less evident is now hissing away...under the inlet manifold. So, here we are with my tyre pump and DIY boost leak tester made from a Vitamin C pot and the top of a...

    Stage 2 Before FMIC

    Hi all, The car is ready for Stage 2 code but does not yet have a FMIC fitted. As some of you have read, I am experiencing an overboost issue which I believe may be due to Stage 2 mods on a Stage 1 generic map and those who have the same mods as me are not getting this issue on Stage 2 code...

    Surge on Stage 1 K04 - Cured

    Hi all, I suspect that my car isn't running as well at it should. Basically my last mod was a 3" TIP, when I first fitted it the car felt like an animal, really really sorted however since this time it feels a bit down on power although still quick. The TIP itself will not have harmed the...

    Forge FMIC vs Forge Big Race FMIC - LCR Stage 2

    Hi all, It's time for an intercooler and after researching for quite a while it seems that Forge charge their premium for a reason, because simply their coolers seem to trump a majority of other installs. Anyway, that's not up for debate, I've made my mind up and I refuse to deal with the...

    LCR "vs" Ibiza Cupra

    Ok, so not in the context of street racing but I managed to get a ride in a Stage 2 k03s converted MK3 Ibiza Cupra with all the fancy bits (FMIC, TBE etc) and I was pretty blown away by its performance, I was expecting something with similar performance to the LC but no, I was wrong. I learnt...

    Fitting ARB Bushes

    Hi all, I am about to fit a pair of FARB bushes to my LCR and I wondered if anyone knew how to do these. As far as I can see I can do them without removing the bar but the bushes aren't split meaning that I cannot push them over the bar face on so will I need to undo the ARB from the drop...

    LCR OE FARB Size?

    Hi all, had a search but couldn't find the info I was after. I have always thought (from previous research on here :)) that the LCR OE FARB is 19mm and as my bushes need replacing I was all set to order uprated bushes as a temp measure before fitting a larger bar in the Summer however, I have...
