Ok a wee update, getting the milltek ordered next week, theloudest.com 3000w sub and amp going in, then I'll be saving for coil overs and getting the wheels refurbed sparkly black and possibly have the bonnet re sprayed to kill the stone chips

 

[mick-fr]

Sounds very nice Lawrie! What milltek did you go for?

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

Decat non res oval exit its gonna be loooud!!

[Chris3boro]

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

Decat turbo back

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

That's the milltek ordered so hopefully have it on by next weekend woohoo! Next stop is clutch and rear arb followed by stage 2

 

[Joshh]

Can the standard turbo take a stage 2? Congrats on the milltek by the way

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

Thanks mate cant wait! I'm pretty sure there's plenty of folk still on the standard turbo.

 

[Joshh]

Ah sweet! My turbos dying so thinking of sticking a pd150/160 (I think theyre the same?) on so good to see they can handle a nice bit of power

Edit - don't spose you still have the silver alloys and wanna get rid lol?

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

The Ibiza pd160 turbo is the same, dont know about the 150 one though. I sold the other alloys ages ago

 

[Phil_JJ]

Pd160 is the same as which?

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

As the pd130, will be a straight swap

 

[rf860]

As the pd130, will be a straight swap

Apparently the facelift frs use the BLT engine istead of ASZ. The egr location (or something like that) is different apparently therefore the pd160 turbo isn't a straight swap My car is a BLT pd130.

You on coils yet?

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

Learn something new everyday nope no coils but they are on the to do list, plan is to be stage 2 by the start of summer.

 

[rf860]

Not bad progress your making. I've kinda stopped doing stuff to mine just now tbh, going through a phase that i can't be bothered with it lol. First big thing to do will defo be the suspension, had a mate in the car today and the racket going over bumps etc is just embarassing!!

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

Yeah its really bad! I've heard coil overs are a massive improvement if you have the cash to splash!

I've not really done much to mine either this will be the first major mod

I'm looking at KW v1 as they don't have helper springs and have good built quality (helper springs are used on track setups mostly hence harsher ride)
