I'm officialy working my 4 weeks notice, Mike........
I've got thr feelers out with one or two that "could" come off
Sorry to hear that mate. Good luck with job hunt!

Welcome to our new sponsor Lecatona, a brand dedicated to enhancing performance for VAG group sports cars, including SEAT, Audi, Volkswagen and Škoda. Specializing in High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) upgrades.
Sorry to hear that mate. Good luck with job hunt!
V good then. I thought they might ship them like that lol...
Gonna be ordering mine soon. Let us know about its performance once fitted
They do, mine looked like that when it turned up too. I bought one but never had it fitted due to the amount of grinding etc needed to make it fit, considering its a "bolt on" upgrade.
Have since sold it on to another forum member who was more willing to make it fit lol.
Good luck with the job hunt Damien.
This one has already been bolted on to a mk4 Ibiza so I know it fits
Rich, you realy need a high flow mani mate. You should be pushing another 20bhp easy.
I know, but I'm so short of money its unreal! I'm struggling to afford petrol atm, let alonemy insurance in March lol
Would love to have one... When my car is paid off in July, all my student loan will be available for mod funds (exc. tax, insurance, MOT, servicing etc ) so we'll see what the next 12 months brings 
At least you know yours fits, should be a great bolt on mod for you. You'll have to get your car RR'd at some point with no other mods done for comparison, will be interesting to see how it compares to standard. The extra bhp would be nice, but I'd love to have more torque, maybe 270-280 ftlb.
My last RR result was 236bhp and 267lb/ft and I've done a little bit since then. New filter that released 16g/s and added another 0.75' of timing added (2.25' in total on top of the map ) and a NewSouth power intake gasket, so I would expect to hit 240bhp and 270lb/ft quite easy now
Then there is the mani to add on top of all of that which could let me add some more timing with a bit of luck

Sounds good. Do you expect any big gains with the manifold, or just lower EGT's? You seem to have done almost all the mods you can now, so maybe the turbo itself is the limiting factor now?
When you add timing, you use lemmiwinks right? Do you do that with a laptop? Just wondering, cos it seems really useful for things like adding timing etc. I don't really know anything about it to be honest, all I know is my laptop doesn't get on at all with Vag-Com lol

I'd expect 5-10bhp from just the mani. It should also give lower EGT's which should allow more timing too
Yep, all done with Lemmiwinks on tha laptop using my vag-com lead mate. Its very easy to use.
Yea, the turbo will be the limiting factor once the mani is fitted. Dont think I could justify the outlay for a hybrid (£600 for the hybrid turbo, £550 for mapping £1-200 for injectors, £30 for used MAF & £100 for unseen silicon pipes) for circa 30bhp....

Hold on.
Ina told me they need no grinding whatsoever. Those clearance issues have been resolved.
I suppose everyone with their mani from the last group buy has no fitting issues???

Yeh, tell me about it
Ideally, I'd do exactly what Robbie C is doing with uprated rods, and water/meth. If i had all that and a mani I think I'd be fairly close to 300bhp. Perhaps that'd make the whole hybrid turbo setup more justifiable, maybe not the cost. My laptop uses Vista, and I can't get Vag-Com to communicate with my car
would be pretty useful if it worked tbh! I'll have to get a new lead as I seem to have lost the one I bought before. I'm so disorganised!Some LCR injectors for sale if you're interested btw http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?p=2778124#post2778124
Meh, maybe I'm just useless lol
It did take me a long time to get it working though..
Have you read the guid? Clicky
Yeh I've read it. A friend of mine has had vag-com working on my car with his laptop.. He installed the drivers on my laptop and did all the necessary, but they just wouldn't communicate. My laptop is HP, can't remember what his is. My other half's laptop is a Dell and it wouldn't work on hers either! Very odd.
when you fitted your new south power gasket did you fit it with your standard inlet manifold gasket aswell?
just wondering as i ordered mine today so as soon as i get that on and my air filter finnally arrives i can get the stage two remap,im sure you ordered the last filter from green as i still havent got mine.

Beatiful car Damo
With that torque it must be flying ;p
It does move quite well. Hopefully its producing a little more than my last dyno run now with all the little "tweek's" I've been doing
nice one cheers,did you have to buy anything else when you fitted the newsouth gasket or is it just a jubille clip for the hose?
