Not updated this in a while
Got the turbo fitted and mapped by REVO really happy with the results pulls well.
Had bother with my coilpacks recently so i have now replace all 4!
And also had to change the coolant temprature sensor
My next problem is my turbo is starting to smoke when its hot so going to need either buy new or get this one rebuilt not sure what's the better option?
Also thinking if i get the turbo sorted might stick in a LCR fuel pump form Eurocarparts

Right folks a few updates and some pics!
First of after my turbo smoking like mad i finally got fed up and decided to take it off. Its now on its way to turbo dynamics for a full rebuild if all goes well
When removing the turbo though my INA manifold looks to have cracked
Not sure what i'm going to do with it yet
Also a nice package came in the post today
Bought another set as for some reason mine keeps blowing bulbs after short periods of time?
Cost me $70 with free P+P which took 4 days so all is good. Their the slim version and there really neat and small.
Went for 6k's so just need to get them fitted!

Right folks the new turbo arrived and i got i fitted in between my Christmas holidays
Bought it brand new from Turbo Dynamics and i'm pleased with my decision! So much better compared to my old one, it feels so much better and pulls far nicer!
Pics of the new turbo
and a few of fitting. Not got any of the finished product as the weather has been so crap lately, but i will get some up soon
Next up is VT engine mounts, LCR fuel pump and a WOT box

Gald your liking your KO3s with REVo stage 2! Thats what im running at the mo and it turns the car into a quick little bugger. Stick an LCR fuel pump, i say gains higher up the rev range and didnt lose as much power up there compared to standard IC pump.
Saw the pics of your INA manifold aswell, mines been on about 2-3months now, hope it doesnt crack aswell, may get a JBS one in the future!
Cars looking good

Yeah very pleased with it. Only downside is the weather, i haven't managed to go for a good run with it. But in quick bursts it feels strong
Yeah my manifold had a small crack in it but by the looks of things it wouldn't affect the running. I'm back on my standard manifold but Issam has sent me a brand new one so i need to get that fitted!
I'm stuck between either buying the LCR fuel pump or a WOT box? i'll end up buying both but which one first?

Got a few new bits coming, my engine mounts are buggered so i'm getting some VT ones from Badger 5. Pictures when they arrive.
Also decided to go ahead and order a WOT box for the summer, been looking at them on Youtube and they look like a good piece of kit! Again pictures when it arrives
Also my new replacement INA manifold turned up last week, so i thought i would post some pictures of it.
Can't fault Issam for sending me a brand new one out. Thank you!
Picture compared to the old one
Went for a run to the end of my road today and took a few pictures. I've sold the Porsche wheels to held fund the turbo and sprayed my Cupra wheels gloss black along with the intercooler. I need some rear spacers badly! Cars filthy aswell, covered in salt!
Also took the back seats out which i love, the noise from the exhaust sounds so much better!
