Thanks for feedback guys. I am going ahead with the new map and the car should be going in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully they can resolve the issues and get even more out of the turbo.

thanks , will get the clutch sorted soon , i thought that the clutch wont last a great deal and if SMF was fitted only the clutch needed doing next time, where as DMF needed doing next time anyway , (or if dmf fitted if started to slip could i change the friction plate and catch it before destroying anything else ??)

as for the SFS is that all you have , ?

do you have the part numbers for them , i got sent a list from anthony decaux for all of them , so unsure which ones tali up to your suggestions


i also waiting for jabbasport to sort me out with a race pipe , once thats sorted i definatly need to get some pipework ordered

did you manage to sort something out with a led kit for the leon after ,

i notice yours has visor lights , dont recall mine having that is it just the newer ones i got me a 53 plate one

cheers & keep up the good work

andrew


any answers/suggestions on the above ? cheers

I wouldnt mess around with things like a clutch. A DMF and full sachs clutch is the option I would go about it. If you dont mind the noise of a SMF then go for it as it will be stronger and lighter than a DMF.

as for the SFS is that all you have , ?
I have all the SFS kit

do you have the part numbers for them , i got sent a list from anthony decaux for all of them , so unsure which ones tali up to your suggestions

Sorry I dont :( E-mail anthony back and send him a copy of the diagram of the piping from tdi tuning section saying you want FMIC kit, Pipe no4 and TIP

i also waiting for jabbasport to sort me out with a race pipe , once thats sorted i definatly need to get some pipework ordered
Read up on runaway's and wingnut mod

did you manage to sort something out with a led kit for the leon after ,
I done the whole kit for me and slick. Unfortunately the guy never got back to me for a special deal for SCN :(

i notice yours has visor lights , dont recall mine having that is it just the newer ones i got me a 53 plate one

Some of the older Leons dont have those. For example Unclefester hasnt got them and he has 04 plate???

cheers & keep up the good work
Cheers :thumbup:

Over past week I have managed to finally detail my car and ready in time for Sundays AmD RR.

I am a little bit annoyed as I had loads of pictures but they all came out poor. Here are the best three.

Not much to report on RR results as they are similar to previous ones :) I took a few people out in the car to show them what it could do. The dip in the RR graph certainly isn't present on the road so its a baffling one indeedy.
