I would possibly look at the APR route matey, did they get you a price on fitted? Yes ok so the JBS04 conversion does sound good, but i know someone who has still had problems with his, cracking manifolds ect, and his clutch slips quite alot aswell from what i remember. Also on some rollers he doesnt make the figures that JBS have claimed. Have a word with him before you take the plunge, and just see if he would take the plunge again given the chance. Think his name is Bezzaboy

its a 54 plate and yes waranty is void :doh: as they know its remapped.
i blame the remap personally but it aint gonna change a thing passing the blame! i was going to put a better turbo on the cupra anyway just this has given me a kick up the ass to get it done. im just waiting on jbs to work out a reliable maf sensor and housing setup then i can roll her into the workshop.

its not propper gone just smoking and smelling a little on idle but according to the seat technicans my internals are going

What about MRC? like i said in the other thread, they seem to be pretty good IMHO. This is my friends car http://www.mrctuning.com/custcars.php and this thing pulls like a fooking train, all the way to the read line in every gear. He was the one selling the IHI turbo i was going on about the other time. He used to use JBS but got a bit pissed off with some of the staff :whistle: so never went there again. He now swears by MRC, and after seeing there S4's in action last weekend, these guys know there stuff ;)
