Cheers guys! Not sure my funds can run a hybrid just yet lol

On another note, this was sat on my desk when I got into work this morning:

Also, just ordered a power gasket and booked it in for polybushing.

 

[ERK_RS]

I have an INA manifold aswell. Nice bit of kit for the money. Will give you a few extra ponies! Nice car

 

[tommy2008cupra]

Is it just me or in this pic shouldnt there be a hole in the flange where the 3 holes are ?

 

[Chino_UK]

U know...the is how the pics in the INA thread look John...I best check that!!!

 

[CupraMVR]

I did my power gasket on its own and could free a difference with mine.

really good simple mod nice and easy 2 fit aswell

 

[Chino_UK]

Thats where i got the idea, after reading your thread mate!
Was just checking the INA thread, I think its right mate, if u have a look, i think it only shows it from beneath...the pic I took is of the mani with the hole underneath. I'll bring it Saturday if u fancy a look at it, anyways

 

[Damoegan]

The mani looks like it has already been ground down on the top flange to me mate..

 

[Chino_UK]

I'm hoping you are right Damo

 

[CupraMVR]

Yea bring it down and i will take a look,
looks nice piece of kit

Have you looked into forge actuator mate? i know we will be fitting 1 on john's FR soon

 

[Chino_UK]

Haha what is it with you Awesome guys tempting me with parts? Last time it was Al with the torque arm bush...but yes...was wondering what the main benefits were? I'm due in for a stage 2 map (finally), in a couple of weeks mate, so if it helps from there on in...

 

[CupraMVR]

Well im not trying 2 sell you anything just want the best for your car. i would take you out in mine show you the help the actuator makes for the turbo. but i will be working late on sat with the rolling road.

They really help hold the boost till the red line. im sure with stage 2 this will help alot better.

 

[Scott-o]

I need some seeds from your money tree Chino

 

[Chino_UK]

I'm only pulling your leg mate It sounds good, I am going to do some more reading to understand the function of the actuator more I think, I'm still getting to grips with turbo''s engines, but you may well see me in for one at some point

Lol I need more myself Scott...keep telling myself "No more..." and then go and get something else lol

 

[RS6]
