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.
Ok Ok ! I should have held off cutting the wires to the lambda even tho we thought they were now defunct!
My mate did suggest tracing the loom back to the ecu control box modular enginemanagement device and removing the pins but i wasn't happy about poking about in case he damaged a pin or something so we went the "chop" route. My mate did do his Renault ok tho and i sounds superb!!
If i post pics of what we did can you guys advise the next course of action?

First thing you should do is kick your mate in the balls and not let him near a car again. Then go to your rainy day fund, 'cos guess what? Its pouring down. Then take it to a garage and brace yourself for the estimate for parts and fitting.
Ta Reg & Arosa Racer-should have asked advice b4 "Bashing" but we thought the turbo would squeak more with the honeycomb out & improve general breathing not the mention the high torque that would be gained. The damm muppet! : ( your conversion looks nice but i wonder if a MOT inspector might guess what you did. At least mine looks as it left the factory in Spain (especially if i use blue insulating tape as Seat does on some of the o.e. wiring on the car)
Gonna have to visit my dealer & bite the bullet and buy some probes unless i can source some from Ebay.
Do you know if i need any special probes or are any SEAT ones ok to use? I suppose the threads are the same coz the cat looks similar to a 1.6 like my uncle's got

it's OK - as it'll totally fail the MOT with the wires cut...
however, even with the probes in you will still have dash lights.

do you think your mate can have a look at my car
i bought a power resistor of ebay (no ordinary resistor extra 80bhp) but im havin problems were to fit it please could you ask your mate
the engine light has come on because the wires you sellotaped have probably come apart (recent bad weather) solder the wires together and wrap them in insulation tape that should do the job
what did you use to block the holes off i found glow plugs of a mazda 2 to be a perfect fit
if your still geting problems get your mate to take the bulb out the cluster

dash lights ah just take the bulbs out saves money in the long run, as for MOT mines had a pre check and the emisions were ok
Dump Valve, makes a tshhhhhhh noise ? no?
forget all what you know about turbo cars the 1.8t is a total arse, with all the sensors etc, if you fart and you dont have it in the correct gear the MAF will explode or youll wreck a coil pack lol
No no, sounds like your 'mate' knows exactly what he's doing
Darwin's theory of evolution was written based on people like you. How you and your 'mate' have avoided natural selection is beyond me.
pmsl
that is awesome ^^^^^ best bet is a scrappy to source the parts, theres one on ebay, called motors in motion mainly deals in the VAG range
So.......... hands up who thinks Goble is being a twat?

Oh well, if you can't take the pi55 out of yourself once in a while.....

I had my reservations when he advised to polish and wax a car before washing it..... Suppose cutting sensors would make sense when you take that advice into account
