MY01 Leon Cupra now with CCFL angel eyes 2 1/2" dp-200cell cat and one box

[LEE69]

What you bosting too? My LG recorded 20.8 till the hose went again lol

 

[Klone]

no idea, not got around to fitting a gauge yet because i refuse to pay £40 for a beige pod!

 

[LEE69]

No gauge!!!!!!!!

First rule of owning a turbo, fit a gauge!

Can do it other ways, hell you might even have a boost leak like me

 

[Klone]

haha! i have thought about it... im a lazy bugger lol.

i hope i have! the clutch probably wouldnt take much more boost

 

[LEE69]

 

[Klone]

nice

 

[LEE69]

Yeah I'm happy with that.

Clutch been in mine the 3 1/2 years i have had the car so no idea how much more life is left lol

 

[seatcupramad23]

so please happy with exhaust , do rear box is rather small which i was gonna change if i kept the leon but as you seen the difference between downpipe's is night and day , whats you next step lee , intercooler perhaps ?

 

[LEE69]

Yeah it's bedding in nicely tbh, Doesn't half howl when you floor it, but cruising throttle is fine.
lol yeah downpipes are a joke!!
Maybe if i was going stage 2 I'm in no rush though that might wait till next year.

 

[seatcupramad23]

nice which i had your approach to things i always rush thats my problem i think , but 180 g/s is amazing from stage 1

 

[LEE69]

lol saying that i thought i was going revo stage 1 recently, then stage 2 so have that put by

Yeah did bloody fly till the hose popped away again.

 

[seatcupramad23]

bloody hell hope you can sort it asap

 

[LEE69]

It's a shite design

 

[LEE69]

Exhaust manifold as a crack in it

 

[LEE69]

Manifold splits
Wouldn't have been long till it was full circle.
My mechanic said some bolts were loose, gasket between turbo/manifold leaking.
Also it wasn't all as it should be under there, by the previous owner over 3 1/2 years ago!! but it is now

Wife is cynical as it all started after we had the 2 1/2" system fitted, women eh

Some pics for your pleasure

EDIT also thanks to Pete for the manifold

 

[seatcupramad23]

bloody hell lee thats a right crack

 

[LEE69]

Pete, if you shine a torch into the chamber and block where the turbo bolts on, you can see the light right through.
Told you it was loud

 

[seatcupramad23]

I can see why u didn't want to weld it

 

[LEE69]

Yeah, any longer and I'd have two pieces.

 

[LEE69]

I'm sure that was a problem, as i just hit 22.8 P.S.I !!!!!

It sounds unreal on boost!
