ahh so my ibiza is a mk3 stadnard 02 plate...

so its ko3....

best upgrade would be a k03s!

for someone who doesnt even have a remap yet, you'd be jumping the gun abit

its funny how much you'd get blown away against a remapped but otherwise standard ibiza, so consider this my response to your thread 'what next'...before u waste any more money on bits only to decide in a few months you dont like the ibiza, as a few people have recently, get a remap

just had a quote from jabba for fitting a tip, they quoted £130. i really want to do it on myself but even looking at the guide on here i still wouldn't have a F***ing clue!! can't be doing with forking out the money for the tip then another £130 for getting it fitted!!

I fitted mine myself, i know a little about cars but i'm no grease monkey, it took me about 2 hrs (on my own & following that guide) i didn't need to jack the car up, i done all the work from the top.

How are these forge tips held on to the turbo? by jubilee clip or some thing?

Cause the original one has a screw to hold it in position.

don't pay £130 to get it fitted. It's not hard to fit the only problem as always is that there isn't much room.

I had to do mine on axel stands so it was more off a pain, the hardest part was getting the tip over the turbo intake as the water pipes going into the car are so close to the turbo, i had to gently bend the water pipes over using a piece of wood then pull the new tip over the turbo

I wouldnt do it again if i had to
