nothings being done upgrade wise just went back in for custom engine mounts to be re designed to be stiffer and a new stage 2 clutch as first 1 they put in was faulty DAMN AMERICANS 
went to pick the car up as the clutch and mounts had been completed and the cvar was test driven and fine! drove for 5 hours and got in my car after a month away and soon as i pulled away their was nasty rattling noises so turned around and complained after 2 hours of fiddling and searching narrowed it down to the gear box so need to sttrip the gearbox down and replace the bearings on the imput shaft!
loads of hassle a tip for every1 DONT BIG TURBO A MK4 20VT IBIZA WASTE OF TIME!

sorry to hear your having so many problems Rash!
are they just replacing the gearbox bits with identical replacements or are they able to install parts able of taking a lot more power / torque?
from a different car say?

they can really take some punishment then?
didn't realise they were so strong!
like you say, just unfortunate!
the engine mounts your having made, even stronger than the previously custom made mounts must be more or less solid?
might just as well weld the engine in
engine vertually probably is now! probably why box went as no elastic band effect at all now just flywheel to driveshafts! no give! im sure itl all work out! cant wait to get her back the skoda mk1 felicia courtacy car realy sucks!
mk.1 felicia.........
sorry to hear that!
that must be more distressing than the issues with your car
Hows she doin mate??? Any news on getting her back and in one piece? Be a shame to sell up after the work you've put in!!
cars not back and still not fixed engine mount that i had re uprated was slightly knocking!!!!!!!!!! but it was getting worse as it was bedding in only took a minuite of driving to get realy bad so traveled 10hours round trip away to find out car isnt ready but hey poo happens they should be delivering my car to me this weekend or mid next week latest weekend after next!! just you can only cope with so much pff road action! driving me mad! havent had the car at home for 2months!!!!!!!!!!! and out of the 8 months the turbo has been done ive had it WORKING for about 2 weeks max!!!! annoying but when my car is a test monkey b eing the first i spose ive got to understand!!! guess the harder it is to have 1 of these turbo'd the longer im going to be the only 1 as far as i know
nah.... cost of being different.
I remember being joint 1st mk3 ibiza on IHI way back when...... leap of faith, some issues but nothing like your run of bad luck.
mk3 engine mount setup is so much better for torque control
