Nope is that on scn or on this site. Was planning to go stage 2 this month but due to the issues im having putting everything on hold really till shes better. But if its a really good price I might be tempted. I take it that its the forge unit?

How comes your switching from apr?

On here :)  Its the BSH one, 20people commiting gets £100 delivered.

Im switching (other things to be done 1st) to see the difference and to set myself up with revo for planned GT3071R  mapping.

You can drive my stage 1 revo if you want a taster mate. Sounds like your gonna be like the king of leons with those plans. Have driven DanGB's big turbo leon and that is really really quick, so it will be cool to see how yours turns out. Roughly what sort of power output should you have with a GT3071R?

Here it is!

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=7001.60

Well Im stage 2+ APR which I find quite fast like.  Yeah I bet Dans is very quick, I went out in it when Apr guys were over from the states finishing the mapping...

Id be happy to run the bigger turbo so its above peak KO4 but well within its own limits

Thought that was the case, is £100 a really good price then? How much do they usually go for. Trouble is though then thats more money thats gotta be sent in the way of the insurance company.

Nah I thought they were Fecking Rubbish!  :wink:

I had a silver TDI Sport on KWs and TT Comps, a Platinum Ibiza Cupra TDI, a 1.4 16v, a trackday Cordy, and a Mk2 2.0 16v :)  I still like SEAT, they were all more reliable than the Golf anyway!  Shame the design ideas have taken a bit of a dive!

I've found loads of old friends again on this site, its more like car facebook!

Its running ok still since SEAT reset the ecu and uploaded updated software, but then it ran fine for the first couple days after I had the ecu reset myself.

Noticed your sig not having much joy with it at the moment I take it, I think I remember the TDI with the comps that was slammed?

Is the GTI standard or mapped?

Yeah it was on its arse!  :grin:

Nah not remapped it yet, it ran something like 170bhp at Superchips so I decided to sort that first.  Half a day in a workshop and I'm still sorting it, I'm afraid to say.

This car is turning out to be a right pain in the arse, I wish I kept my Cupra now!

Your Leon sounds sweet, I should go on SCN and check it out!

A Very Warm Welcome, Poverty! I've recently joined SCN! :drinking:
