My new Ibiza 1.4TSI FR

[James23Parkin]

Looking at getting it sorted by end of feb/March at the latest then get them refurbed after that and tyres on by April/May time. TMC is a tuning box mate yeah just a stop gap till I get everything sorted on the car so when I get a remap it'll be worthwhile and make use of everything. As for the brakes yes mate defo still want them let me know when your ready and ill pop round to get them fitted

I didn't sign up for that...

Got myself a go pro hero 3+ black edition so thought I'd give it a quick blast in the car and see what it's like with a little iMovie editing, gotta say loving the DSG Farts so must obviously sound better when outside so once I get the suction cup mount I'll give it a try

Class I'm not sure your folks will lend you their cars now they know what really goes down when you 'give it a good run'...

Nice little vid, always fancied a go pro myself!

 

[turboboy]

TMC is 200+ bhp by the way

 

[mjstokes85]

Just seen your COD vids on your YouTube, do you play on PC?

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Cheers Robbie but according to the TMC website they only quote around 180bhp. MJ used to be a big pc player back on battlefield 2 then went playstation but since ghosts and battlefield 4 have been out only been on a few times and have since sold my ps3, but it would be nice to get a pc again

 

[turboboy]

That can't be right, yours is the same engine as mine, they remap to the same power. We will soon see though mate

The rest of your stuff for the mattery relocation arrived today buddy

 

[CraigFrTsi]

A quick update i have now got the TMC fitted and what a difference, the just pulls effortlessly in every gear but now have to keep an eye on the speedo as I keep finding myself easily creeping to 40 in a 30 zone. Running on setting 8 have had no problem except from first fitting it I think the mechatronics unit was detecting torque spikes so kept short shifting but now after a couple of days the car is running so much smoother and seems even better now I have taken the forge BOV spacer off (not a bad thing but found it kept dumping the air so not building up as much boost as I'd like) so it's up for grabs if anyone's interested

 

[troupy]

tmc???

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Yeah it's a plugin map gives your car up to 40% more power though the setting I'm on probably only upped by 30-35%. Here's a link to their website

Sounds like it goes really well on the road, which is where it really matters. I look forward to a spin at the weekend. Not literally though

Still on for dubs?

 

[CraigFrTsi]

I am buddy yeah can't wait

 

[James23Parkin]

I am buddy yeah can't wait

Cool. Me too. I'll give you a call on Sat to touch base. I'll be in Notts by then

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Another update have now sold the forge induction kit and thanks to Copey have now got a custom VW racing induction kit and gotta say I love it. I can now clearly hear the supercharger whine away as well as hearing the turbo spooling up, performance wise it does feel like the car has a bit more pull higher up the rev range but looking forward the next Saturday when going to awesome GTI when I can finally get an idea of what the induction kit and TMC box is doing to the car AND I'm finally getting the car lowered yippee lol.

Here are a few pics one of the connection alloy pipe and the filter housing(filter had just been cleaned and was drying)


A pic of the certificate of authenticity of the filter lol

Sounds like money well spent mate. I look forward to a passenger ride v.soon

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Yeah will sort you out the money as well as wanting to sort the battery out so I can get the intake setup better

I'll text you my PayPal address mate and we'll look to get a day together very soon. I'll find a day to take annual leave on one of your days off. Looking forward to fitting your relocation kit.
