gaz i guess you are a waddington boy then? im from bracebridge heath. was parked at my mates house on lichfield road few weeks back with my bonnet up (platinum grey mk4 ibiza) he has a dark blue golf 20vt. car sounded awesome and looked bloody quick. then saw you couple of days later...yes i have a crumpled wing and bumper :(
 
im sure you can get a de-cat for the 20vt i was looking at one a while back but cant remember if it was milltek.

I thought if you decat a 20vt then the ecu will cause you problems. Also will have to fit the cat back on at MOT times. Plus is there that much difference between a 100 cell cat and no cat?

Quick question what shape of pipe have people got twin jet or ovel pipe?

well i work in bracebridge heath, yea remember seing you with bonnet up,
ric ive got twin jet so looks like standard exhaust
 
Can't decide if I like the look of Bunnin's one off. Fits nice and snug under the cupra bumper.

Kept the oval shape to look OEM also, just does fit right on the cupra bumper.

It does fit very nicely, as it follows the curve of the cupra bumper nicely, kinda slash type cut almost.
 
had my exhaust done today, i bought a seat sport slash cut inwardly rolled, angled oval tail pipe. looks sweet and sounds the nuts on boost. well impressed. just wonder how different the milltek sounds compared to my mufflerectomy system.
 
Hi all, spoke to Jabba today and they think if i get downpipe and de-cat or sports cat i will be loosing boost and therefore loosing power they quoted 160is for the downpipe and de-cat + itting, so i have decided to take there advice and save my money although he did say car's that have had it done sound like evo's hahaha i did like that bit. so decided to keep the money and put it towards a fmic and clutch although they also said forge fmic wasn't ideal and said with a few of the cars they have said it sometimes has a negative effect and would be better to stick with my smic and spend the money on a new clutch :s
 
yep said it would be a waste opf money as i would be loosing power

That was lucky you chatted to Nick from Jabba you would of been rather dissapointed with a decrease in performance.
i forgot to tell you I spoke to Alex form Pro Alloy and they will have a chat with you on thursday about making that prototype, they just want to make sure there is a market for it, you might want to start a feeler post and see what interest you get.
 
they say bad things about forge intercoolers as they dont use them, makes it worse ive seen everything not i really have :lol: :lol:

you say that but they have proven that they really do car about their customers by telling Mike not to get the full system, that would of been a easy sale i think they are speaking from experience, as they say they have had a few cars with the forge FMIC and have seen different results from there recommended pro alloy intercoolers. when i dropped my car off to pro alloy on Tuesday i was chatting away with the guys there and the know their stuff and their cars are lush they have a Vx220 and a elise both running over 300bhp
 
I have a full non res system and I have not had any loss of boost. Vag com boost logs can prove this!

funny that jabba would say that it can have negative effects and miss out on the money, maybe its just a precaution that it may have this effect, i have heard a full exhaust system can damage the turbo on a TDi. maybe its just hearsay if your happy thats all that counts i guess
 
thing is like steve has said it would have been in their best intrests for me to buy the downpipe and de-cat so i do feel some degree of trust towards the guys there i know obviously they wern't going to reccomend forge fmic but at the same time when enquireing about exhaust i mentioned to him that i am looking at the possibility of getting a blueflame exhaust (which they don't sell) and he said to me ohh ok there exhaust and milteks exhausts are quite similar see which you can get the cheapest? in the end i went with jabbas miltek because i didnt fancy driving to liverpool to get a blueflame but for them to not slag off blueflame just to get a sale i think shows something, to be honest i reccomend jabba to anyone i meet/see/know bcause i honestly belive they are honest in their advice which i think is very important
 
hows it going mate ill have to pop round and check this system out an ur gauges!!!!!
 
yea deffinatly mate and it just occured to me earlier we havent ever had a race haha wanna get that done before you get your re-map hahaha
 
ive got a de-cat and a 3" custom down pipe with a 2.5" miltek decat pipe back and it is seriously LOVELY! doesnt sound to much and when you open here up it back fires it pops it bangs and it sounds like nothing else ive heard imthinking of getting the rest of the system turned into 3" now so will have a FULL TURBO BACK system with oval tailpipe forsale soonish
