want more power

[ibizadoyle]

i want more power and i realise that a bigger turbo is more than likely the only way forward so was wondering what i need? i already have a fmic and a decat dwn pipe so what else is required? also the pd150 turbo does it neeed to be hybrided? or can i just source one and put it on and have it mapped? and the uprated clutch can i just buy an uprated friction plate or do i need the release plate thing to?

many thanks simon

So you're still running on a stock clutch. If so for starters your map will be running restricted due to it.

If it were me then it would be full clutch plus either a remap with your stock turbo or hybrid if you can afford it.

I assume that you've got the brakes sorted by now, if not do it even before thinking about going hybrid.

Undertaking a hybrid project can become quite costly.

If I was you I would get an uprated clutch and a stage 2 remap done with a company that will update your remap when you eventually go for more power.

 

[ibizadoyle]

ok well where there cheapest place to get it done? are just the friction plates suitable as they alot cheaper than the kit?
if not where there cheapest to get one?

thanks and yea brakes suspension all sorted was thinkin about rear arb and lower strut brace what u think?
thanks

Its not about getting the cheapest place to do it, its about paying for quality of work, id rather pay AmD the £700 for an uprated clutch inc fitting than buying the clutch myself and getting a near by garage to fit it just to save a total of £100, id rather pay the extra £100 as id know AmD would do a top job on it and are a reputable tuner/garage With a hybrid, id say you want all the handling mods to strengthen the car up that little more

 

[ibizadoyle]

is tht all amd charge? most place the kit alone is around 800 quid
would tht include a new map or am i pushing it lol

pushing it , if the prices was right it wud be just the clutch , perhaps brad was giving a rough example of costings against savings

on another note , i cant see anything wrong with getting local garages / reputable mechanics to do the base work,

and get a pro to set things up /map


obviously most people would know a trusty garage ,

personally i would use my both uncles in their garage to do the legwork, and go on from there to a good tuner to set up

i know it will be done tidy , so not just tom **** or harry in a back lane somewhere

theyve already helped a ukmkiv boy out when his pd150 turbo blew ,

cleaned it all out and refitted a hybrid for him

 

[ibizadoyle]

ok cool does the turbo have to be hybrid or can you just put a normal pd150 turbo on and see gains?

 

[Husbandofstinky]

What brakes have you installed on the Beeza?

 

[ibizadoyle]

i gt the ebc turbo groved disks, green stuff pads and 5.1 fluid mate

 

[jonjay]

I dont think you will see much gains from the 150PD turbo. It holds the power better than the 130PD but whether it worth the costs off upgrading - I personally dont think so.

Before you even think about changing your turbo you still got basic mods that you have done yet.

- Bushes
- Anti Roll Bars
- 160PD intake
- Clutch
- More aggressive map to suit the clutch

Going hybrid turbo can cause a a lot of problems with things failing, mapping being done right etc...I would stay away from that until your ready for the financial hurt and patient enough for it. Took me months to get car perfect. Only last 2 months have a had trouble free driving as a lot of map development went into my car.

EDIT: you need good brakes to stop the car.

 

[ibizadoyle]

wat bushes do i need? also wat arb? is the 160 intake worth the extra cash? just been asking around about the clutch and map now trying to find the best prices. wat problems can u expect from going hybrid?

thanks

 

[brad1]

As Andrewcupra TDI said, i was just giving a rough comparison about prices etc

 

[brad1]

Either powerflex or cupra bushes, and you choose what ARB would best suit you i spose. You will need the intake so your airbox can suck more air in

 

[ibizadoyle]

ok cool how much do the cupra bushes cost? is it the front wish bone bushes? right better srt one out den? anyone know if any are going off cheap? or cheap places to get it?

 

[Husbandofstinky]

I think you need to uprate your brakes further too if you're going hybrid. Different calipers.

I think you need to be doing alot of research mate

 

[ibizadoyle]

lol yea think so!!

 

[ibizadoyle]

i know it may be a stupid question but can u hybrid a pd130 turbo? obviously it wont give out as much power but can it be done?

thanks simon

 

[brad1]

Yeah you can have a pd130 hybrid
