AndrewJB's MK2 Leon Cupra R "die gelbe Baron"

about 1.5bar peak

Im struggling to test it though with lots of clutch slip and ice, plus i cant set the warning level, red light comes on at 0.9bar
 
Was curious as my last FR running stage 2 Revo peaked at 23 psi so 1.6 bar.
I should have mine fitted next week and didn't know what to expect as APR say they run less boost than Revo.
This being a k04 car running stage 2 software I'd expect similar or a bit more.

Working 16x12 hour day shifts at the moment so will be fitted at the end of them

Are you going to use it on a track to get the benefit from it? Unless you drive like a maniac on the road you wont see much in the way of benefit.
 
i live in MK, "The City of Roundabouts"

I also leave/go to early at 5:30am ie no traffic, the world is my playground

I've got a trackday at Rockingham to use up, also hoping to get some tuition from a current WTCC driver soon
 
Good stuff. Having had a diff in 2 MK2's I can honestly say they are great when really pushing on like a looney tune on sharp/fast bends. 99% of the time on the road, you wont get the benefit and you will definitely need to learn to adapt to driving in the wet.

+1! Wet/ice/snow + LSD = An eye opening experience to the uninitiated!:wtf::rofl:
 
Will it help with traction on launches at all?

If i had to pay full price for it i wouldn't of bothered but seing as it was cheap and my Clutch/Flywheel has got to come out ASAP i thought why not
 
Yeah you need to adapt. Launching - i got 13 dead with standard diff and have still to beat it with the LSD although i think the Southbend kit is stopping that as fast changes are hard with it fitted.
 
What set up you got Al? i will be running

Southbend Stage2 kit (like yours)
Quaife LSD
Forge Quickshifters (F-B and side to side)
42DD Bushes
AKS Tuning metal gearbox mounts

i found the Southbend kit great in my FR TDI apart from the noise
 
Wavetrac
Forge shifters
Southbend Stage 2.
BSH full mount kit.

I reckon a 12.8 quarter is there if the gear changes weren't limited by the clutch kit.
 
I also find that the SMF is a tit to change gear at high revs! 1st-2nd not too bad. 2nd-3rd is a total C@#t! Noisy piece of crap too!

What SMF you got?

Ive driven a few TDI's with "Normal SMF" in them , then i decided to buy the Southbend Silent kit which isnt silent lol
 
When we took it out though there was a few things, place that fitted it for me failed to refit 3 bolts to something (cant remember what) and the clutch wasn't bedded in yet

so fingers crossed this time, although im aware of Al's problems
