I'll get pics 2moro for you taz, just a bog standard halfords number, until i get a pillar pod. at the moment its just stuck to the dash.
ran it from the rubber elbow on the intercooler piping, just poked a hole in and jammed the restrictor piece in so it was air tight, to be replaced with a bleed nipple when i can be bothered
i wouldnt really recommend the halfords one, isnt too accurate but definitely helped me identify a boost leak!
Centre silencer removed today, turbo seems to be spooling a bit faster and I'm getting a nicer sound
Next, custom decat and a new back box!

had a 9 hour detail today with some new products and needless to say im quite impressed with myself only down side is my cameras goosed so ive only got iphone pics.
method as follows,
autoglym pressure washer detergent followed by a good blasting with the pressure washer, 2 bucket method with some dodo juice supernatural, rinse down, megs clay bar with megs ultimate detailer, rinse down, dry and mask off, with a borrowed Kestrel Das-6 used megs 105, lime primed the car, used a the DA with a foam pad and used some poorboys black hole then some purple haze glass cleaned with megs ultimate glass, plastics done with WD40 and tyres treated with megs gold class endurance gel
all in all very impressed, the megs #105 has greatly reduced my swirl marks and a few deeper scratches and the black hole has filled alot of blemishes in the paint and given it a much smoother finish.
heres the pics

i know the feeling getting hooked on the old detailing game ha ha. I go through phases though, ocd about the car being clean for a while then not too bothered for a while. I've not washed mine for a good few weeks so could be doing with one. Sometimes i find waxing etc a bit depressing when you see all the wee marks on the paint ha ha. Although my new car has hardly anything at all, really been looked after by the previous owner

Got the exhaust done at semtech motors in Kirkintilloch, could have got it done cheaper elsewhere but they're 2 mins up the road and she didnt have time to run me across glasgow!
it's not really as loud as i'd hoped but I'm getting a custom de-cat and a new back box on the 17th so that should put me another step in the right direction
and as for the detail, do ur own

yeah waxing is the worst bit, at one point i was lying on the drive way fag in mouth i pod on rubbing away, the neighbours mustve thought i was mental!!
and i wish i could say the previous owner looked after the paint

I'm sure all your detailing will get it looking spot on lol. I don't get why people buy a car like an ibiza cupra then not look after it, seems a waste, could understand more if it was one of the bog basic models....
judging by what i've heard, the PO worked away in Dubai for a while and his brother had the car and didn't look after it too well, if I win the lottery I'll get it resprayed and park it next to my lambo
