looking good :clap:

IIRC, it was 'only' :rolleyes: 320'ish bhp when you had the IHI fitted, what have you had done since to get 349bhp?

ps, thats a very clean engine bay [B)]

@ LEE MERIN jbs done the turbo covertion only

@ AIR121005 the car was rolling roaded at jbs about 6 months ago at 333bhp but the clutch was only stage 1 and the engine mounts werent uprated and the gaskets on the turbo were blowing every 5 mins so im guessing the gaskets had slightly blown when first done but went for anouther rolling road day about a week ago and it was freezing and ive had

gaskets uprated
custom vibratechnics engine mounts (dogbone, gearbox and engine mounts)
stage 2 spec clutch

349bhp and 338 lb ft :)

@ the rest of people comments THANKS! YOU MAKE IT ALL WORTH IT :thumbup:

its got to be an amazing car to drive!

fairplay to you Rash, well done in creating such a desirable car!

on a side note, did you notice an improvement when the engine & dogbone mounts were fitted? :shrug:
i ask because jabba now do a dogbone mount for the fabia / ibiza, but wonder if its worth £140? :confused:

@ air121005 the rear dog mount made a big difrence in my car but my old dog mount was absoulutly raped by my car and desperatly needed changing as i was geting massive knocking coming through the gearstick but imo the rear engine mount isnt worth eting unless you deside to go bigish power as only diffrence i felt was quicker accelaration response and very vibraty in the cabin so only really for the TRUE PERFORMANCE PEEPS (not the dash rattle moaning crew :) )

@leoncp11 no its not on air ride (too much weight ;) but ive got it on fk silverline + coilovers :) will be raising it back up when i can be assed as the handing is not great that low and rubs a little and im more a performance man myself so will only look like this at the bigger shows :)
