That’s great going from 130 to 226.

Can’t wait to get started now on mine.

If I was to get the hi-spec brakes which ones do I get? On their webby they don’t do seat do I get Audi TT?

I do like the look of the hi-spec but realise there expensive

Or is it just best to try find some zimmerman disc's

I want good brakes really good brakes as am bit crazy when driving

Why only low boost?

Brand new turbo + air intake temps are too high so need to lower those first :) Sure its only peaking at around 1.8BAR. With it being able to handle alot more :)

Yeah it goes alright :) Looks like your doing it right, no point in all power with no brakes!

I got the 312mm upgrade and standard disc and pads from the likes of Audi TT/ Skoda Octy/ Seat Leon Cupra. Upgraded to 501. and that was more than enough with a remap and alike.

Just a quick update:

CC is booked for Monday 6th to do the stage 1 remap & fit green cotton air filter.

Brakes I think am going to go for the black diamond leon 312mm discs & pads. With a set of red callipers and new brake lines from somewhere.

Sorry if this sounds dumb, what are people using for the rear brakes? (size)

do the audi tt caliper carriers fit right onto an ibiza?

Found my answer in another thread, in case you're curious if it's a pd100 you need new hubs from the 130 (i have a pd100 lol)

No I have the PD 130

I know the disc's & pads that I want now, but still not sure and the callipers & lines.

What size disc are you using on the rear of yours

mine are all stock at the moment mate, so the 312mm wont fit a pd 130 hub then?

Yes I think they will fit fine, hope so anyway not bought them yet.

People seem to be using standard 312mm TT disc on the PD 130 so yeah they should fit.

Am going for the black diamond as i like the black disc's. So red callipers & black disc's will look really good

yeah they sound nice, how much they gonna set you back?

Well the discs/pads front & back should cost no more than £380 & new callipers and lines and stuff am hoping it can all be done for less than £650 -£700.

Was looking at the Hi-spec & brembo kits but these come with a high price tag.
