I much preferred the look of the laguna over the ths one, especially when the laguna is centered as it fills the gap perfectly. I have a pro alloy one now tho which performance wise is the dogs danglies.

yeah the red ibiza sold :(, but I bought cupra_matts old yellow gt2871r :)

It had the pro alloy one already installed.

As bill has mentioned in another thread the pipework is shockingly flimsy and could do with being replaced but overall its an awesome intercooler.

hey notguts you finally sold.
were you able to get a reasonable price in these times?

Got a new readers ride thread yet on the car you bought now? I bet power has improved substantially...

Oh yes, power has definitely increased! this is running about 360 odd bhp :D

Px'd my old one plus cash so yeah happy with the result.

Spent the afternoon at Total-VAG yesterday sorting out a few bits, needed a new o/s front hub plus was throwing a code for a lambda probe that had been mapped out with CC3 but as it was missing and not plugged into the electrics it had an eml so need a cheap secondhand one (or a resistor - anyone know??) to create a circuit.

no pics apart from what the previous owner took, its already done 800 miles in a week so constantly filthy :lol:

The forge tip is quite honestly the hardest thing in the world to fit, i woukd rather rebuild the engine bolt by bolt than fit that b*****d again. lol

if you can fit that tip intercooler should be a breeze:)

You know you love the popping! Your car has near on exactly the same spec as mine so I know how great it sounds! Does yours do it on boot aswell, or just when you lift off the gas?
