are they less stable with fewer bolts? how are ur eibach spacers? had any problems?
Is it necessary to remove the fins?

What fins? Zero issues some people are have issues with other makes. You just take the wheel off, attach the spacer and line up the holes with yours, slap it on, bolt wheel back on with longer bolts through holes.

ive read people seem to recomend "hubcentric" spacers! i may have a lil seach on them!
evo u mentioned earlier "4 bar FPR - from a passat" how does that improve performance?

The standard injectors are calibrated to deliver a certian amount when there is 3 bar of fuel pressure across them. What this means is that when there is a complete vacuum in the cylinder, as there is with the throttle closed on overrun, the fuel pressure needs to be 3 bar. When there is 1 bar in the cylinder (partial throttle opening) the fuel pressure needs to be 4 bar. To achieve this, all cars, not just turbo ones, have a fuel pressure regulator mounted on the injector rail. This device has a pipe going to the inlet manifold, and its job is to ensure that the fuel pressure is always MAP(Manifold Air Pressure) + 3 Bar. To increase the fuel flow, you could change the Fuel Pressure regulator to a 4 (or even 5) bar device. This would increase the fuel flow rate by 20 to 30 %.
But you need to map the car for a 4bar fpr, it will could **** your car if you just put one in.

bet the price of your fuel bill also shoots up!! so in theory your just putting more fuel into the cylinders when they fire?
Ric would your recommend your jabba sport rear anti roll bar?? just been reading about it! sounds very tempting! that along with the spacers must improve the handling a fair bit?

MPG has actually gone up and not down, only a bit though
Jabba antiroll bar is great, back end is kept in check, good fun round rounderbouts, backend has stopped stepping out on the power. Look around though check out the jabba post around this section someone recons you can get a front and rear one for the price I paid for just the rear.

just read through the thread again, and from what i gather, just getting a green panel filter and smoothing the standard airbox will give me the same/similar performance upgrades as to going down the route of getting a BMC/CAI/dynotwist, etc induction kit.
have heard of smoothing the airbox before, but never actually looked into doing it. how hard is it? does it take long to do? has anyone got any pics of before/after of the airbox once smoothed?
cheers for all the info lads, is becoming a very useful thread, as like some of the others, am not a genius when it comes to engines and i want to get the best performance out of what alreay is a pretty quick car!

Ric do u think a front anti roll bar is a good buy? i was on the jabba web site and a rear roll bar costs £210, is that roughly what u paid??
thanks for the pic looks good! did u get a garage to fit it or were u able to do it?
Cupra im sure a good soldid pair of scissors and some sand paper would be enough to smooth down the fins!
Ric does your DV make any noise?

Did the roll bar myself 20min tops hardest part was molding the clips around the torsion beam. Which is just out of shot.
DV doen't make a noise, but you can hear the dump through the air filter, because there is no shield to it. Gets annoying after awhile unless you like that sort of thing. Nothing comparred to a scooby. Also bypass the N249 value, but again only do this if you have uprated the original DV.
The price is exactly what I payed but that included delivery. Couldn't tell you about the front one, but you already have one unlike the back end.

yeah my m8 has a scooby! it sounds amazing! awesome bit of kit! although he says the dump valve does get a little annoying! he had a leon cupra 180bhp he mentioned something about a "waste scape"? does that mean anything? it made an awesome noise! so my cupra already has a front anti roll bar? what was that valve u mentioned that id have to by pass? (sorry bit of a novice with all the terms)
on the inside of the airbox there a plastics slats/fins molded to the box i just cut these out with a sharp knife then sanded it all down smooth
I think you might mean a wastegate, couldn't tell you what is though. Check out wikipedia.

Think the waste gate solinoid is NJ49 valve, you can change them for a few letter eg... NF49, N249 valve controllings the DV

All I know is what I've read off here is ....... the wastegate is what diverts exaust fumes away from the turbo hot side. This I think is controlled by an actuator..
