C+c are meant to be good probably cost you about 350 for a system although with custom made systems there is always a chance of actually losing power

I neva knew that! I didn't think you could lose power with a custom system. Fair bit cheaper than a miltek system tho

Yeah there's a lot more money put into the production and science of the likes of milltek/blue flame etc. the custom ones are pretty much just fabricated to fit and that's it, I've heard good things about exhausts by Simon

You wont really loose power. Your obviously going to if its of poor construction, or if the exhaust is massive.

But you wouldnt go somewhere that had poor reviews anyway.

Going in to get the egr delete pipe fitted tomorrow. Admitted defeat after trying to do it myself yesterday lol.

Then it's time to save for a clutch!

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

Egr delete is done, noticeable difference is high end power but not much difference in torque low down tbh. Just seems To be going a lot nicer now I'll take pics tonight

 

[rf860]

Don't know egr delete actually affected how the car drives?

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

I think cleaning the manifold made the biggest difference, there was at least 15mm of carbon deposit built up in it lol. Only thing that worries me now is with the ASV gone the engine rocks a lot more when turning off the key. Fingers crossed I won't do damage in the long run!

 

[Phil_JJ]

Do you have an uprated gearbox mount?

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

Do you have an uprated gearbox mount?

Nope, would it be beneficial to fit one now?

 

[Phil_JJ]

I would think so. Mine on mr Ibiza was showing signs of wear at about 2.5-3 years old and about 30,000 miles.

Just waiting on a 65mm elbow. Plan is to fit that, connect the boost gauge into the delete pipe then get the polishing kit out and sand back and shine up the boost pipe

How do you go about cleaning the manifold? My mpg is dire just now so looking at ways to sort it.

60mm elbow

I sanded the weld off mine and polished it up. Was a bitch of a job

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

You can either take off the egr valve and clean it an the entrance o the manifold while it's still attached (just be careful not to let any debris fall in). Or remove the manifold completely, I believe the guy that fitted mine sprayed a load of carbon cleaner inside and fired a power hose through it to blast it all out. Just wish he'd given the outside a good scrub lol.
