moved from leon mk1 to turbo tuning

afaik there isnt a "designated" distributor but i know big boys toys are looking at them
 
Why bother when you can import from USA cheaper direct? (even if you're unlucky enough to hit fee's)
 
posting from one end of the country to the other is expensive too con, im eventually heading towards an atp turbo, over here in NI theres noone in contact with atp, if its as good as people say, it shouldnt be failing too often.
Summit racing who ive dealt with a few times send replacement parts to the uk free, all i had to do was prove the part was faulty and take a pic.(not the weight of a turbo though so cant comment on a heavey item)

All very well paying cheaper prices but when you have a problem who do you turn to? Probably work out the same price once you've added import duty, VAT and shipping from the USA, turbo kits weigh alot.

Nope - I got mine for $1,600 all in
 
how mauch are they from star as I know a few people that go over to the states often enough...
 
How much are they from the states and whos the best people to speak to?
Maybe speak to forge as they have a site over in america and must ship things often from site to site!?
Wont to get hold of one very soon but need to know what bits i need etc. May even go over there on holiday and get one! (Yeah i wish!)

Give them a phone mate, they will be happy to have a chat with you.
 
Never got that far! Looks like a grand GBP to supply plus delivery.
Is there any good sites comparing the ther S and 287r? LIke the idea of the 400hp one as i bet it would rubn more 360-380 which is what im after.

I odnt go on vortex or any of the other so if there is any stuff on there could someone point me in teh right direction? Want a BB garret really around 380bhp and as littel lag as possible (i.e. how much more laggy is the 28 comp to the s)
 
I don't think there's been that many been fitted yet, mainly because they don't yet have a replacement exhaust manifold. I know it should fit the stock one, but the stock BAM manifold is considered by many to be too restrictive for higher power outputs, I would guess while you've got the turbo off, you might as well replace the manifold at the same time.

Be careful and confirm your fitment with them, I don't know if anyone has confirmed that the GTRS and the GT2X will fit a 2WD BAM as they don't have them over there. I guess it probably will, but worth checking.

If you're targetting that level of power, you might want to look at upgrading the internals, although the power/torque levels that the standard internals will reportedly take seems to increase on a monthly basis. Also need injectors too.

Time to do some research!
 
Dam right that’s why im a fat boy m0rk!

Cheers feel but i see star advertising an ATP manifold already? Its £300 and im sure RobDon had it fitted a while ago? Or is there a different one for the Eliminator.

IThe website indicates “seats” as an option on the main poster bit and list it in the drop down box ( it says “seat leon”) So I presume its been checked, mind you assumption is the mother of all f*ck ups!
 
I think the K04 has a different exhaust housing 'entrance' and also the DP for your LCR has no chance of fitting an eliminator
 
Like I say, be careful - RobDon's is a Leon Cupra the DP is in a different place to the LCR.

I think that if you got a manifold and eliminator for a 180 engined car, it wouldn't mate up to your DP.

Like I said, do some research!
