I think I will be going with the Kinetic one as apparently the THS one is a complete sh1t to fit!

out of interest why is the THS one so difficult to fit? apart from needing the modified spanner

anyone considered the Kinetic motorsport ones. Look to me about the same price and I have heard they are easier to fit....

See this link re fitment (Ibiza though, not Leon)... http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=167462&highlight=kinetic

I don't know if you'd have the same problems on the Leon, also Kinetic may have addressed the issue by now. The THS one is the one I'd personally go for as I think all these aftermarket manifolds will be a pain to fit no matter which one you choose.

yeh i fitted mine, its wasnt to bad to fit really just one of the nuts was a pain in the arse! It defo alot quicker now with the mani on and seeing a 4psi increase aswel so i was well chuffed and it pops and bangs on gear changes now lol.

Matner the box you give me was from 034 motorsport so i checked it out on the net and it looks like the one they sell so im i right in thinking it was from them?

i do have a pic standard next to high flow mani if anyone wants to see?

Id like to think Kinetic had resolved the problem now, i did report it stright away.

Mine was abit of a pig to fit and did take me a while although it as my first time :)

When the turbo came off last weekend Hooch did report there was a slight crack in it but not serious and its not blowing at all, Im expecting it to give way sooner or later but im hoping the new JBS one will be out by the time it does.
