well i've tried all different ways to make my fr do it today to no avail :-( maybe just a very very quiet one in second gear but you would only hear it if u were listening out for it - wonder what i could do to make it happen as i dont want a cone filter....... any ideas?

....actually what is the difference between the 130 and 150 engines? different airbox? more boost? different chip?

....sorry to fill up the page a bit here! just had a search and a read about the differences - the two engines are almost completely different! i'm sure you all already knew this actually, but i didnt, being new to seat. different turbo, intercooler, ecu etc.... i'm quite surprised as this surely couldnt be cost effective?? if a 150 turbo was fitted to a 130, it seems the boost temps would go through the roof without the ic to go with it!!! i wonder why the same engine wasnt used but with different maps to give different powers?

Strutbracer aren't well regarded around these parts.

They also aren't listing a Sparco brace for the Leon?

And apologies for adding to the even further adventure into off topic.

Look under Audi A3 1.9TDI - same brace, and doesnt obstruct the Leon TDI engine cover ;) Part No. 036RG761

I've just saved myself about £35 by buying from strutbracer instead of Demon-Tweaks, bought it on 7th Feb, got a email saying it is out of stock and waiting for Sparco to deliver, delivered on the 12th Feb.

More than happy Strutbracer customer :)

Stops your struts from flexing. The whole body of the car flexs and twists when you go into corners. You just don't notice this. This stops the twisting (flexing) of the struts quite so much. So more of your steering goes into cornering - not flexing your car! :D Meant to make handling a bit better when lobbing it in corners.

just been having a read about the woooosshhhh noise your on about and my 130 pd lean does it. exactly how you guys with the 150pd's describe. but the 130pd guys with the ibiza's are saying their cars don't. is there any real differences between the 130pd in the leon and ibiza. i looked at my mates ibiza 130 and there where a few little differences like the oil filter housings and the alternator belts where a different set up. Thats just what i could see from a quick look.

I love the sound of my PD150...can't wait to map it, enlarge the air intake... and green panel :eek:)

You wont be dissapointed, apart from the amount of fuel you use cos its so god damn nice to drive a mapped 150.

Can't wait for the Spring/Summer so I can drive sensibly over to the coasts, windows down, turbo spooling up, simply can't wait :)

I own a PD130 Ibiza and mine does do it! As per first page!

On a side note, my mate who owns a 2.0 16v A3 diesel 140 unit also does it! So the octy 170's must be able to, if done currently...
