Have you changed the injectors for a bigger ones ? I have heard that a power about 230 hp with standard 320 ccm is dangerous for the engine.

No, standard injectors..

Lots of people around with a 180bhp 1.8T that are pushing ~240bhp without problems mate :)

Why not just bolt on a k04 upgrade, or even better, go all the way and fit some proper kit from Garrett?

Even for me to go for a hybrid it would cost me at least £1500+. And that would only be a 30bhp max upgrade.. Then to go for a Garrett kit I'm looking at nearly £4k to get circa 80bhp....

The 2.0T k04 cars can push 350bhp easy with stage 2+ mods....

I've got a load of service parts to fit (discs, pads, plugs filters & oil's etc) to the car when I get a free day in the next few weeks so will ake it from there..

We are going to look at a new car for the Mrs next week (VW Tiguan) and its got me thinking of a new car too :shrug:

Seems all the "original guys" that were on here are selling up and moving on now! I dont come on here much now cos I dont know anyone anymore! lol :(

I would say to put more power through it, but I'll be honest with you, I'd get a bigger car with a better chassis that can handle the power more without trying to kill you! :lol:

Personally (not bias at all :D) but I'd HIGHLY recommend 4wd. Dont know how much money you've got, but the MK6 Golf R would be an amazing car. 2.0t so 350bhp with a remap, and 4wd so never gonna have a problem putting that power down!

Keep us updated Damo! And good luck whatever you choose.

If I were to swap my Ibiza for anything, the mk2 Leon Cupra would be my choice. Get a 2nd hand one tho, new ones lose about 10k£ in depreciation the first two years, atleast around here. You can get used Cupras for around 13-15k £ now, usually with the mods you're looking for.

+1...

a few months ago i also tried to sell my beeza however i couldnt get all of my money all at once so i didnt wanna risk looking for my money in the future during the installments...lol

So i had to keep it...however my plans have always been for a leon 2 cupra...as both of my mates have one and during drag racing my beeza with their leon 2 cupra i was impressed with the leon 2 cupra @ full power arround 370hp (inc hpressure fuel pump by KMD etc...)

Just for the history i drag raced recently my other friends leon 2 cupra with just a Vflow induction and forge bov with my beeza running just 8Boost and 8timing on my revo 2 repam and having a leaking INA manifold :cry: for months now, i was able to let him 2 cars behind from 2nd to 4th gear drag run :D. So the beeza even though at low power is handling very well...Hopefully my car will be at full power soon and well test back again with both my mates leon 2 cupras...:D
