My first Seat - Leon 1.8t Sport pics

The sound can't escape mate, so how would you hear it

Car is currently in the garage having a compression test and some vac tests. Will know the results by this afternoon. The turbo is sounding alot better now with the open cone I can actually hear it whistle and recirc again, drives nice and smooth and holding boost firm according to the gauge, but it's just not quite as torquey as it was.

 

[LEE69]

Let's hope it comes back with a fault.
Is it still hot where you are?
Cooled down a lot here, car really loves it

 

[kineticz]

Yeah pretty cool here mate I noticed a difference just by the weather when it started turning rainy earlier this week.

I have same feeling with my car. Doesnt feel as torquey as it was, not as responsive as it was... yes most will say it because of weather but this pretty much happend to my car overnight about 2 weeks ago. Weather was same for few days. Feels like its leaking boost... this starts to annoy me now

 

[kineticz]

Fitted a catch can at same time by any chance? lol

Its just that you're used to the power, and need stage 2

Since fitting the new induction the car is alot better. I'll run some logs next weekend.

Hmm definitely impressed with this air filter, had a play with a 2.0t Astra VXR tonight and it was literally neck and neck.

Maybe it's not all as bad as I thought. I might just have gotten used to stage 2 lol...

 

[JordanMk3]

Sounds like a sh*t load of fun... Yours is heavier than the VXR, so you did well.. Is the sound really a lot better?

 

[kineticz]

LOADS better dude.

Vader is back on cold mornings

Just a heads up to say the Leon is running mega brilliant at the moment. I've blacked out the FMIC and fitted mesh over, also de-tinted the clear part on my rear lights. Will upload some pics this week.

You need some blue vacuum hose mate

Nice stance at the rear

 

[Murdered LCR]

Nice seats and stance at the rear unsure of the front bumper tho , and as lee said blue vac line will look good

 

[kineticz]

Might get some blue 5mm vac hose then

I think the blacked out fmic is a big improvement personally.

engine bay looks great mate, but I REALLY think it could do with a set of these to finish it off nicely

lol I've always wanted those but I can't warrant spending so much for some caps... maybe will get some when I'm feeling more flush

 

[LEE69]

Me too, just talked myself put of them as well.
Bargain though Tony

I got a question for you mate, see the blue hose your using from the IC piping to the DV, I've used the standard hose that was already there and cut it, problem is, it keeps popping off, what size / dimensions is that blue hose as I need one.
