K04 MK3 Ibiza Cupra Track Ready - RIP

No updates but
Since I've fitted my massive cooler the cars been really laggy and sluggish, I put it down to the cooler being to big for the K03. Then the car started back firing extremely loud and spitting flames when I let Off the throttle
(me and berg thought it sound awesome haha) so scanned the car and had 10+ faults ranging from cat to lambda to ignition circuits and n249
Turns out I've had 4 faulty coils for awhile. Was missing or anything tho just causing 4 codes, 1 per cylinder, which has just got worse lol
4 new coiles and cars completely transformed, no more lag, spins through the gears and seems to hold boost better
Alot happier with the car now can't wait for the K03S to go on

Hmm been away on hols came back and took the car down to great Yarmouth for the bank holiday weekend and walk into problems! all the way there and back! Boosting only 6 psi(guessing it's limp
Mode which wouldnt go by turn the car off and on) the journey weren't too fun lol
And having lambda, cat, running lean and the usual n249 and sai codes and smelling of fuel
I wasnt feeling too good either lol
Cooking my brakes tonight wasn't a good thing to do either as my discs were already shot and now my ebc yellows are shot , being tring to find discs since I've had the car but there so expensive thinking of Hi-spec ones maybe as there half the price of AP racing ones
Guessing it's the bank 1 lambda at fault (thought it was maf to start with) which I'll now have to sort when I do my turbo!and I've ordered some new engine mounts too so got to fit them fiddley things aswell!
I've also got to pick my newly painted bumper up this week
And ive got some templates being mocked up to be made in some thing special

Few goodies
my new seat, the guy brought them in march and had them in a vw camper, which means there Mint
shiney forge actuator
nice yellow sticker on it
Got busy today
start by striping the engine bay down
striped the rear engine mount out
through the VT mount in
had to fight the down pipe off
then pulled the mighty K03 turbo and manifold out the top, Turbo only ticked over 50k last night not even ran in lol
built it up tomorrow, went to fit the new actuator but the 3 mounting holes wont line
so got to get that sorted

Back on it today what a pain it was
started with the ATP manifold
gaskets where shot so new ones where added
Oil and coolant lines
forge actuator fitted
lines fitted
dropped the turbo down the back and fitted the bigger manifold
some nuts where impossible to get at
then had a break from the turbo and dropped the shift box
took all the melting rubber off
then dropped the new VT gearbox mount in
then came the fiddly job of fitting the oil and coolant lines from the engine to turbo
had to call on me old mucka berg as holding the turbo, lining up the washers etc and doing up the lines just working with 2 hands!
was a pain with 4 hands but its on
thanks again berg
soon be done

Yeah id say so, from when i stripped my yellow one we dropped the front subframe and the engine just came right forward so loads of access down the back of it.
