Guest, 🚨New Stock alert: Premium CUPRA valve caps now available in the store 👉 Order now from the merchandise store
I agree, I've seen one go in the flesh too and it FLIES! I can only assume that people don't use them any more because the cost is around about the same as the Garrett conversion bu I think you may be able to get more out of the Garrett. Not too sure what flanges the IHI use but maybe they're not so easy to get fabricated...who knows - best asking JabbaSport on here - they had the first ever IHI Ibiza I believe.
More prblems today 
Basically was driving yesterday and i hit about 5k revs in 3rd gear and all of a sudden car lost boost and started back popping (similar to TCS but this was off!)
Now the car is misfiring quite bad when i rev it on the spot and its popping etc and if i try driving it it is jolting and bouncing lol
Basically undriveable!
Vagcom'd today and these were the codes
18010 P1602 Power Supply (B+) Terminal 30 Low Voltage
16885 P0501 Vehicle Speed Sensor Range/Performance
16804 P0420 Catalyst System,Bank1 Efficiency Below Threshold
16795 P0411 Sec.Air Inj.Sys. Incorrect Flow Detected
16621 P0237 Turbocharger Boost Sensor (A) Circ Low Input
From advice on here it looks like the map sensor is at fault now
Loving the daily problems of cupras lol
Sometimes get a week of driving if im lucky!!

Back to the above post:
I have replaced the map sensor today and it has cured the problem and is running sweet again
I also too the time to completely remove the steering knuckle and have my new wheel bearing pressed in
A job which was over due lol its been making noises for a few months now
Heres after the new bearing was pressed in!
Gave it a good clean up and then refitted everything this morning
I think thats all the problems now sorted

Didnt last long as an intercooler hose popped off yesterday on a dual carriage way lol
My fault though i suppose, I forgot to do the the clip up
glad i had a screwdriver in the car
Dear God, you scare me lol. I'm very tempted to do a very subtle boot build and have a hidden tool kit just in case we have any problems

Got hold of a couple of new gauges today
I got an autogauge boost gauge to replace the existing one i had
Matches the oil temp gauge now so no more odd gauges
Also fitted an anti-buzz t piece for the boost gauge which is awesome!!!
No more dancing needle on the gauge now lol
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then i got hold of a Volt gauge which is in a dash pod cheap
Thinking of mounting it on the dash in a subtle place, maybe next to the Nomad pillar pod ?
I was going to sit it in the centre of the dash above the heater vents but the pod sits a little high for my liking.

A package arrived yesterday from Sere motors with the new coilpacks
Out with the old...............
In with the new
While i was changing them the turbo to chargepipe reducer caught my eye and i dont think it looks too good????
Opinions??
It looks quite stressed lol, not sure if i were meant to change this when i fitted the k03s but i think a forge hose is on the cards now

Berg,
That looks like the silicone is almost not supposed to go there and the aluminium seems to be popping out, first thing I would do it buy myself a decent reducer with a couple of hefty clamps. Shouldn't be popping out like that! Good luck once again bud!
