I got black btw, thought with me having red in the engine bay already blue may be a bit of a clash!

Not 100% sure at this point, think i. Have a slight leak somewhere so need to get the bumper off and tighten them all up, feels about the same but intake temps around 20degrees

I will use my Liquid to get a readout once I've checked the hoses Mike, I know it was running around 163bhp beforehand.

On another note, my SuperPro Poly Torque Arm Bush arrived today, will whack that on next weekend.

im going to re-check my hoses at weekend John, im not boosting as high and it seems to run out of steam a bit early, so think one of the hoses might need tightening up, does that sound about the right sort of action?

Popped into the local Seat Dealers today to get some bits for the oil change, and parked next to this beauty:

Was hugely tempted to go back and see what trade in I'd get tho lol

Anyways...after getting home and letting the engine cool, the process begun:

Now running fully synth :)

Once it was all done I realised I hadn't cleaned the Ibiza in 2 weeks with all the work..so I cleaned it and got a decent shine :)
