eliminator kit from vagworx?

[caveo]

In my hunt for around 300 bhp iv come across the eliminator kits from vagworx . The garret gt28r is 1800 quid with high flow manifold , 550cc injectors and pump also 3inch tip. I will also buy a forge fmic and 4 bar fpr and get it fitted and mapped by jbs ( custom code phase3 ). But iv been looking at ihi kits from jbs which are more expencive, which one is best and are the atp high flow manifolds any good cos iv heard bad things.

Eliminators aren't as straight forward a fit as you might imagine on a 6 speed leon.

 

[caveo]

jbs should av no problems tho? is it due to the gear box etc being in the way ?

When i was talking to james at JBS he wasn't impressed at all by the eliminators, he thought they were poo.

Although i did like my GT2X, but that was the smallest of the 3 and my new setup GT2871R on equal length mani is no more laggy.

My advice is, do it the way you want the first time, i have done 3 conversions on mine now, and iam happy now. I would recommend the IHI kit, even if you have to save a little longer it'll be worth it, trust me!!!!


PS how do you know you will be happy with 300 BHP, i said that a year ago and then i ripped it apart again and started again with it to get 360 BHP.

i dont think ill be happy with it in the end but the wife was watching

elim is so much hassle ask dpj..

True, he got pages on his conversion, im thinking of an upgrade also but cant be asked with hassle at the moment

 

[caveo]

surly jbs wont av a problem if they will fit 4 me cos i wont dare do it my self . ps iv found it ALOT cheaper to get it from the usa saving me around 500 notes

 

[The MoffMeister]

well everyone will have the problem even jbs the kit is a bit of hassle i was going to do it but luckily matt changed my mind lol so got 2871R

biglad if you dont buy an elim kit there will be no hassle pretty straight forward all others

 

[caveo]

For some reason jbs are refusing to fit or even map the eliminator kit does any one know why?

 

[DPJ]

Well James offered to map mine a month ago.

JBS' business is in selling their own turbo kits. I can't see why they'd want to fit a third party / competitor's kit.

 

[caveo]

true but im letting them supply and fit injectors,fpr, pump, fmic and 3inch maf house and paying for the map. So do we think they are being mardy cos im concidering other options than theirs ( even tho iv spent alot with them already )???

 

[The MoffMeister]

its only buisness at the end of the day but like jabba wont custom map anything other than they've done

mapping something "pieced" together from a customers list of parts, which may not fit together or work together to the expectations of that customer, with potential failure and hassle to them consequently, you can see why.

Stick to kit of parts they know to work, and or have engineered themselves is going to be better for them business wise.

you can see why.
