I went in his k04 ibiza before it was mapped and it flew then!
was going to buy it off him but then my car had issues which took all my money, by the time ive managed to save anything up it'll be long gone so gonna wait a year and maybe go ihi

They are probably willing to take your money if you get anything sent to you is another thing. They have a very bad reputation on this site and i wouldn`t even think of buying anything from them even if they are still trading.

they were OK when i dealt with them....but seeing the experiences others have had i can understand the bad perception people have of them...shame really as they had a really good oppurtunity to break into the VAG market

anyway back on topic...if you are thinking in terms of power for the AM04 turbo, then go for the popular Garrett GT28rs conversion, places like JBS etc do this work and seem to be pretty well recommended

perhaps if you want similar to the AM04 you have the hybrid K04 option that the Leon boys are doing, which apparently is good for 300bhp....and in the ibiza you dont want any more power than this. I had 240 in my last ibiza and that was more than enough....remember power is not everything, its the way you get to put the power down and the handling which puts together the complete package, take it from one who knows

A&M arent going any more, i spoke to mike the other day - he said he can no longer get any turbos etc

 

[Steve GTI]

sorry but do you not have 286 bhp? And aren't you 18? Who are you insured with as i know when i had mine it was dear with just a remap, they went loopy when i suggested changing the turbo!

not for VAG cars anymore, they are now going into the Jap scene....

Mike is getting a bigger more executive car and Adam has sold his Ibiza and now owns an Evo

 

[rashcupra]

give jbs a ring they are more than helpfull and are great at showing you what your wallet can stretch too

Anything to do with the bad reputation they got in the VAG scene, moved to a new scene with new mugs sorry i mean customers....
