I don't have one sorry mate.
If you pm Dave @ Sere he will give you it, he may send some out to you free of charge like he did with me, providing you've bought stuff off him before? Or it will be like a pound for 5 if it is going to cost you bud.
will do mate cheers,
decided im gonna go hybrid the other day, got my mate pricing up some parts now lol thought to my self if im getting the rods done they can hold alot more power screw it lets hybrid that turbo haha

Ah really? Tbh mate if you want to notice the extra power, go big turbo. I don't think you'll gain much from a hybrid over a circa 300bhp LCR, very minor gain IMHO.
I'd want to see the other side of 350bhp like 370bhp that the TFSi Mk2 Cupra's make at stage 2+. So a Garrett GT2871 turbo would be my choice if I was doing it. I think hybrid can end up pricier than people think..
It's very experimental too so don't be surprised to come across a few issues along the way dude. But good luck with it if you do it and hope it goes as smooth as possible.
If you want to talk to someone about hybrid's talk to rsmith (Robbie) on here. He has a wealth of knowledge on them, without slating his hybrid move if I could be critical I would say from his RR that it's taken him a good while to be happy with his setup and he's added WMI etc to get there. Have a good think about what you really want from the car over it's current tune and what's worth the investment.
Ha, Screw you t0m
, but yeah you are right, the Hybrids are still, " Experimental" in my view, very hard to get right and no 2 cars react the same, i have gone through 2 hydrid turbo's and about 20 or so remaps to get it right and we are still tweaking.What i would say is the low down torque of the hybrid's is awesome, full boost by 3300rpm and your away, great for sprints, top is is good but not BT good.
I am not a fan of my power band being from 4*00rpm up, it losses drivablity for me, but thats a personal descision.
@ LCRMartin, Would you not consider a small frame turbo's, GT28rs, spooled by 3500rpm or even check out Paul-murphys EFR build.
Also check out Frankenturbo he will have a new F23 coming online soon thats very promising.
320bhp is realistic if done right, go to a happy Dyno, (cough Awesome) and the skys the limit, but cost between a Hybrid and a GT28rs are not far apart all things considered.

thing is at the same time if i went BT it kind of effects the drivability i mean i use mine as a daily and if i was gonna go such big power it would be worthless :-/ my mate Ali at Unit 18 is currently expermenting on a hybrid 18t on a bora if all that goes well i might hand him mine to do...
id be more then happy with 320-330bhp if it could reach that if i could get that and keep near enough the same torque i got now i think i could be onto a winner haha

And here he is
Lol..20 remaps is alot of tweaking but your pretty much there now though right? Plus no matter how unhappy you may or may not be with your car, you know how happy I am to drool over the pictures of it in your RR, LOL!
![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
320bhp with similar torque and a decent set of rods, plus earlier lower down torque will be worth it if Martin is keeping the car for some time imo. How much is a GT28rs setup start to finish Robbie? At a rough guestimate?
Ah that's fair enough matey, a big turbo will be a bit laggier (90% of the time) so if it's a daily and your willing to experiment, hybrid could be a viable route. Especially as your mate works somewhere they are testing them.
All the best with it bud! I'm sure she'll fly when done either way
Cheers mate, yea i will be keeping it for some time, hybrid does seem to come out a better option at this point in time, ill be more then happy with a 330bhp daily with the curves of a LCR lol dont think i could ever get bored of that shape lol
330bhp daily you can't really moan at that, lol. Could be worse, you could drive a van..
Haha, I do love the shape of these cars. It's really stood the test of time and still looks better than the MK2 in the looks department easily
I will miss looking at mine if it does go next year.

No because even that engine is uglier
Oh I do know that
Which is why I'll be getting the S3 to get looks aswell
It's mainly the Quattro, leather, s-tronic and bose sound system really, LOL.
All them luxurious inside a brick on a Quattro system
hehe. Will be good if you get one, finally join the big boys club TFSI club
most admit i have been thinking of my next car in a yr or 2 thinking a M3 / Evolution IX MR FQ-360 or a RS4 for a crack haha
