Dave 77: haha i have been tempted but i wouldn't know what combo to do colour wise.
My alloys i bought for my old car that aren't that old and like new don't look like they're going to be used on this car as i love the original Seat ones. I don't know what to do with them lol
SC16V: Cheers mate, really really happy with it!

I've had my Boc now for just over a week and wanting to do some small alterations.
I will be doing a REVO when i get the money together. But for now i want to improve the overall sound and quality of the engine. I'm thinking about the forge BOV but i haven't a clue which one to get. I keep getting a squeaky "chirp" from my car when i put my foot down so i'm hoping the bov will stop this. I'm new to all of this so any help is greatly appreciated. Also looking at the intercooler kit people have mentioned on here but again i have't a clue which one to get or how i would fit it.
Does anyone have a video with their forge BOV fitted?

Search on YouTube for the videos plenty on there. I can't post link because at work and won't let me 
also search bov in forums as been discussed before and people put links up in them threads

Cheers for the reply.
I've searched through a couple of threads mentioning them and it seems that Forge seem to be the most popular but i couldn't find the specific parts required. Same on youtube, i could find plenty of videos on bov's but not on a boc so was wondering if anyone had filmed there's or had any recommendations on specific parts.

And the boc is dying....
Emissions light has come on solidly and it seems that the low end power has gone, having to push the pedal alot further down to get the "oomph" required... So pissed off that this has happened little over a week of having her. I'm supposed to be doing a 200 mile drive tomorrow morning and now i'm going to be stuck down the local stealers (The one i bought it from is over 170 miles away..)

Right well i finally got the car back on Thursday after the worst customer service i have ever received. Oxygen sensor has been replaced. Was assured that they had looked thoroughly through everything and it's all fixed. After about 45 minutes of driving on my back to Birmingham (Which had been delayed by a couple of days due to the problem) and the emissions light has come back on...
So i'm abit suspicious either about what the garage actually did, or the car itself ie whether this problem was apparent before them selling it to me..

So i jumped in the car to go to the seat garage and the light turned off. FFS! Still a bit weird that i came on at all though?
Haven't had the light come back on recently, all in all the car seems fine now. It's booked in for a service the beginning of next week.
Wasn't planning on any further 'mods' to the car until at least January / February if not longer due to money. However the Revo offer has grabbed my attention. If you work it out you save more like £120 rather than the £100 stated due to VAT. If all goes well money wise and as long as the dealer can fit me in i should be getting my car remapped within the next two weeks, and also getting the Forge Bov Spacer ordered and installed. Fingers crossed everything will go smoothly!

Haha well i've only heard good things! Going to be annoying if the roads are still icy when i get it done lol Was tempted to go for the free trial first but as the roads are so bad it'd be pointless as i couldn't really get a feel for what it's like.
That's what i'm hoping!
Quick question, i'm going to buy the switch later on after i get the remap as i'm stretching to the remap as it is due to it being a sudden unexpected purchase. Is there going to be any problem using the switch after with the different settings? Or does the switch need to be programmed when the remapping is done?

mmmm not too sure tbh mate. Mine was al together. Post in the REVO section and get an answer from Kev.
Iv been thinking about this recently mate, my dealer revo'd my bocanegra for me and I am looking to buy the switch this week. From what I understand it can be purchased after the map as I am doing, and there is a new SPS switch out which is all ready for revo'd cars in which you literally just plug in and select which setting depedant on which fuel you use and can be done at home you dont need a garage/specialist to do it.
