I'm going to try the stage 3 file first then go from there. Should be ok with the turbo.
Janner_Sy:

Well last Monday I got the diff and clutch all fitted. I will get round to doing a review of both the items when I get a free hour or two. All I can say is 'Wow'. The diff is amazing. Really pulls you round the corners, and works much faster than the usual Peloquins and Quaife diffs. The clutch is also great. Pedal is heavier than I was expecting, but not silly heavy, just gives great feel. Just been bedding the clutch in and there is less judder everyday I use it. Being the 6 paddle this is expected. There is no idle chatter, just a little bit of box noise coming down the revs in the higher gears, but hardly noticable. My ibiza was running an alloy flywheel and had massive idle chatter and loads of box noise. The clutch had transformed the way the car drives. Boost comes in faster and lower down the revs and holds better at the top. Car feels much faster than before and I now have no slip in 5th anf 6th. My original flywheel was fooked. Loads of excess play which I could feel from the day I bought it.
The whole job took me most of the day inc answering the work phone and having a luch break. Box was also removed without causing any need for an alignment.
Here are some pics. I forgot to take any of the diff mounted with the final drive. Pics are from my phone rather than my slr hence the sh*te quality. Left the camera at home!
Got to have the right tools for the job:
