What did you and your MK2 do today?
- Thread starter Tfsi_Mike
- Start date
Just over two weeks agoit was traded in - not being advertised as of yet because my private plate hasn't come off.
Happy days, a lot faster than the little 1.2 lol.. Love the lights!
Took it to shark performance and currently sitting in the waiting room
Let us know what you think, was considering taking mine there in a couple of months.
Just spoke with the garage, apparently there was a "reasonably big" stone stuck in my caliper. Could this really cause such awful juddering?
Just got back, it's completely transformed the car, wish I had done it earlier. Great service from the guys there! Couldn't praise them enough.
On a bad note tho, when I was on the ramps it's clear my sump has before porous
it's leaking. Looks like ill b needing a new one

Numbers numbers numbers!!! Hehe
Watch out Kev, it isn't a Seat, don't want to piss on anyones chips hehe
In all seriousness looks lovely, and very classy. Thought about de-badging? I love the smooth boot lid when debadged on the golf
Anyway the garage that had my Leon has sold it today, someone picked it up and it's off to live in the Norwich area, I hope the new owner comes on here!
Picture just before it was picked up
Was pretty sure I seen your old wagon on Pistonheads in the classifieds, would I be right?
I've seen it for sale a while but didn't realise it was benjic2.
Love them wheels. Smart car.

Ben couldn't put it on the rollers so we went out and mapped it on the road so don't have any exact figures. He recons it's just shy of 220 bhp and around 450 Newton meters
Seems to be that these cars only have 1 stage that they map to
Stg1 cars have the same power as stg2.
Might as well I suppose as there is no hardware diff between 1 and 2.

People need to define what they mean by Stage1,Stage2 etc though because people are starting to merge the stages.
Before we had DPF's fitted to diesels there was some clear definition in Stages
PD130 for example
Stage1, mapping
Stage2, Mapping and downpipe, airfilter, Exhaust
Stage3, above + Hyrbid turbo and some other toys
But now There's a Stage1 map and a Stage1 DPF delete
PD170
Stage1 - Map only with DPF in place
Stage0 DPF Delete, DPF hardware and software removal, No power mapping
Stage1 DPF Delete, DPF Hardware and software removal with some power mapping (205-210)
Stage2, the same as above but more aggressive (210-215)
Stage2+, The same as above but maxing out OEM turbo (220-230) - Me and Wee G got to this point
Stage 3, Hybrid Turbo or Big Turbo (240-300) - Kilner is at this point with a GTB2260VK
If you compare a Stage1 car (With DPF in place) to a Stage1 DPF deleted car there will be a difference, the DPF isn't in place so it will flow better, People claim 205bhp with DPF in place and id like to see a car with DPF in place actually make a real 205bhp
Hopefully the likes of Darkside, Revo, Shark etc will start defining stages now that A) DPFs are common place and B) CommonRails are common place.
The next step for me, I was told would be hybrid/bigger turbo. Mostly because maxing out the current turbo makes little to no sense as a daily driver. So stg2+ is kind of neither here nor there. Sure you can agree....
I'd love to start seeing CRs with big turbos pushing the 300 barrier. I'm also keeping an eye on kilner's progress of course. Really good stuff he's doing
Have they finally got a CR170? I thought the CR140 ibiza was just brought in. I guess little to no diff between the two...
If I were to go for a re-remap, I'd have a tough time deciding to go for Revo or Darkside
