So my gearbox lasted 2500 miles with this setup I'm now useing a mk4 gti box is anyone else running 1 in a mk3
Still 5 speed im guessing
What gear box code is it? Never heard anyone running one tbh.
How is the car any way mucka all goo?

Yeh man its still putting a massive smile on my face still waiting for something to even come close to it. Its still the same code on the box as the bezza 1. I kept it from the mk4 golf I broke last year as I thought this might happen. Only difference with this box is that the ratio's are slightly different. They don't cost as much as a cupra box to. How's your going mate.
ah cool. Hows the ratios differ? Can ya feel the difference?
Its going good ta mate. Chasing mappers and parts lol.
You doing much more to yours? Diff maybe lol

Yeh it feels a little bit more useable in 3rd around town. Haven't really had a decent play in it yet but I think 4th hits the limiter at 140 in this box used to hit it at just over 150 in the old box. I think the next plan is to take it to bill for a full custom and some gear based boost 
Its now booked in with bill for custom remap on the 5th. Can't wait to see what this turbo puts out.
Pm me a price on how much it's costing for wideband conversion don't think I'd take on the task myself.
Well 1st you will need a ME7.5 ecu & lambda sensor, im sure Alex can do this for you ;-)
If not let me know & we sort something out

Yeh just got off the phone to him gona hold out on mapping for abit was booked in on the 5th but I'm not getting left behind with everyone doing wideband. Bill has give mew a price to do the conversion but just trying to find some info to see if I can do it myself as I enjoy doing the work myself.
2 x ibiza's converted to WB this past 10 days....
WB ecu is so much better.. closed loop fuel control... Want all the bells and whistles (gear based boost, switchable, boost build launch (if you have rods) no lift shift also, and have parts also fit the VVT unit and we can wire that in and activate it for improved spool and mod range torque

Yeh it sounds pretty good stuff. I'd like to do it myself coz money's abit tight atm and that way would be able to get the car mapped sooner. Ill have to do some research and see if I can.
picked up some brembos yesterday came off an alfa gta with brackets to mount and new disc's and pads, picked them up for half the price you would pay for ibiza cupra r brembos to.
also my manifold from ina has arrived
also got round to fitting new engine mounts
Lovely Chris,
Can see why you wanted some parts from me
Heads up on the VT gearbox mount, you might want to put another nut on each bolt as they wobble loose and come out! I Loctite'd mine too.
Interested to see what comes of this turbo, what is it supposed to be a hybrid of originally?
Just noticed you might not have one yet!
