does anyone know where I can get a full exhaust system for my 1.2tsi fr? ive looked around all over the internet and can only find performance exhausts for the 1.4 tsi engine. im after a cat back system. if anyone knows of anywhere that can do this please let me know :)
right now next question, has anyone got the forge blow off valve for their 1.2 tsi fitted to their car? im interested in buying one but ive been told not to touch the turbo because if I start arsing on with it I could just F*** the turbo? will it help reduce turbo lag if I fit this? y car has been remapped from 105 to 130 bhp. any responses would be great, thanks guys

Edit: so ive just got off the phone from a company called vortex exhaust systems based in newcastle. He quote me 550-600 for a cat back performance exhaust including fitting, Not sure i thats a good price or not as i know nothing much about cars lol

Go too longlife exhausts I have got the same car as you and went there and have got a new back box put on with new tailpipes I got that for £130 I am going back tomorrow to get the middle silencer cut out for £30 so basically a catback system now and for £160. Bloody good bargain and the welding is top stuff as is the exhaust still needs to bed in abit but it is sounding nice at the minute.

Turbo charged engines usually have a bov as standard. I'm not sure why they haven't done it on the 1.2tsi but basically the bov gets rid of waste gas so the turbo can spool up faster getting rid of turbo lag. Should pro long the life of the turbo as its not got as much strain.

As for not messing with the turbo you have already done this by getting a remap which ups turbo boost

It shouldn't do like because the back box I have got on is not an over the top huge thing. I should get some pops and some bangs on the overrun hopefully. I don't do alot of motorway miles plus If its too noisy he said he will just put it back in for me :)

Looks good! Any rear shots? I'd love a milltek for my Cupra but its so expensive so looking at Powerflow.

Im just not sure how well the can do the tips on the cupra. I'd like the milltek style tips and not sure if they do them
