Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Aye she does mate, quick quick car, especially for a diesel, will have the edge over a standard cupra, noticeably quicker than focus st, civic type r. All that changes when they are moddified though!
Haha plenty of them but might be a bit x rated for this family friendly website
Aye she runs fine mate, i had the dpf sensors blow on me, when i first had it done, die to aggresive settings causing major heat from the exhaust, but touch wood she has been fine, closest blast i have had of late was against a mazda mps (new shape) and there was virtually nothing in it! Genuinly, mpg i found has dropped since stage 1 maybe on a par with standard, going to get a clutch upgrade shortly And still have an apparant 17 months of warranty left

And still have an apparant 17 months of warranty left So you'll have to get the thing put back if you need a warrenty claim then? I've head the MPG goes up considerably with the DPF removal? My mpg hasn't changed tbh. The performance is a little bit intermittent on mine though. I often get juddery acceleration. Mines running around 210bhp and 345ftlb. It goes pretty well when its runnin right though.
Do you get any intermittent problems with the removal?

A wee bit of stutter if on a long motorway run in 6th at say 80 if you accelarate gently in the same gear it can stutter a bit, but i rarely put the foot down in a high gear, i work through the gears generally, which is probs why the clutch has lasted for the last 6k of driving!
Yeh next thing i'm seriously considering guys is this group buy for the uprated clutch kits!
The savings are very good at 30% off. Trying to join VAGOC just now, but have put up my intro post and no moderator has checked it yet
But i think i may go down this route, for when bigger power options come out
maybe.......

I finally got round to having the car re-rolling roaded today. My previous rolling road had showed a huge torque figure, which i wanted to get checked for accuracy.
My previous Rolling Road had been done at 9 degrees in January, this time round it was 23 degrees. They dyno specialist said as a rule of thumb for every 5 degree drop in temperature you can see a difference of 5bhp generally.
The car was rolled 3x and my average output was 230.6bhp and 324.3 ft lbs of torque which is a lot more like the quoted torque figure, as i was getting worried about the cars reliability. I can finally calm down a bit and stop worrying about the car!, the dyno tuner told me, depending on the temperature and pressure the car should see up to to 240ish bhp, but obviously it all depends on the natural factors.
Happy and relieved with result!!
Video of smoke on the rolling road still to come

Yeh mate, but as yous said about the panel filter, on this run my power curves are tailing off earlier than they did with standard filter, so standard filter is back in
Heres a pic of some of the smoke from the leon, bearing in mind it is firing the smoke outside it is pretty hard to see, wish i had left her for a few miles to soot up! But i had raced my mates focus st on the way down to the dyno and she was pretty well cleaned out!

Not sure how I missed this thread till now. Maybe something to do with me never being at home much recently haha.
I have some good things and bad things to say here though (sorry)
Have to be honest and say I hate the chrome trim additions to the plastic on the front bumper. Looks cheap and tacky in my opinion as you only ever see it on old mercs people try to tart up. The skirts are different being on back to front and not to my taste, but it looks loads better than it did before especially with the spoiler in place!
All appearance stuff aside, I NEED a run in this as it is awesome to get those numbers from a diesel
I know I am biased to red, but the car really would suit the wheels and mirror caps done in black and a Cupra black grille added
And please lose that chrome trim!!!
I am home for a while if you want to call by the way lad.

Haha i will Al! I was thinking along the black route to be honest, will see maybe i'll book in for refurb next week Yeh no bother mate, whenever you fancy at a meet, you can have a shot, i put my standard air filter back in because i am losing power at the top end with the KnN panel filter, marginal but makes a wee difference. When am i gonna hear about the new motor!

Yesssssss, im not spending all that money to only go just as fast as before.
I want more. If its non the quicker I guess I will just have to save some more and do things properly and get a 997 turbo. Or just chop it straight in for a 996 turbo and have money left to upgrade the turbos on that!
