Finally it's running!!
Well it's been an emmotional week but at last the ibiza is back up and running.
After lots off messing around by me and sorting out new intercooler, fuel pump etc it was booked into JBS on wednesday for Custom Code phase 3
I got there bright and early that morning and swapped a couple of bits over that they'd requested for the mapping, once they'd opened left the keys and went for a stroll.
Well to cut a long story short it turned out the k04 i had fitted wasn't very well and started belching out alot of white smoke during the mapping, now being 200+ miles from home meant for me to replace it would have been a prob.
After alot of time deciding i opted to let JBS supply and fit a new turbo, problem being they couldn't get me a k04 quick enough but did offer me a JBS05 instead (more money than the k04 but it gives me scope for future tunning without having to change the turbo again)
Friday came and i went to pick the car up, after going for an eventfull test drive with Kev (which involved getting pulled for no front number plate and speeding
) i was finally on my way home.
Didn't get alot of chance to test it on the way home due to the usuall M1/M25 carpark but did get a blast round brands today.
It's a completly different car to drive now and is going to take some getting used to as the spool up is later on than the k03s im used to but once it gets going it just keeps on pulling.
Im not sure if i was expecting to much from it as im not convinced it's that fast compared to my old setup that Martin's now running but after a bit of playing about on the way home it deffinatly is, just means i need to learn to drive the car again.
Big thanks to Mike, Kev and James & JBS who were very helpfull and i'll deffinatly be heading back for a bit of tweaking to the map once some more mods are in place

glad to hear its back ben, shame about your turbo but things like that happen for a reason, well thats what my dad says to try and prevent me from getting pi$$ed right off
Im hoping i'll be able to drive it a bit better come Donny, it's almost like driving a valver again
That's what i kept telling myself, think my dad was more p1ssed off about it than me

Roly, sounds very similar to my Hybrid GT2x, and the scroll being slower or certianly more laggier than the k03s
and yes, it is a whole new type of driving, which I am still getting use to
but in a fun way.......
It's going to take me a bit of getting used to but will be worth it in the end.
Looking forward to a bit longer on track next time so i can get a better feel for everything.

awesome car mate, absolutely love mk2's like yours and crezz's. my leon is in the auto trader and i'm unsure whether to go for a mk2 16valver or mk3 turbo. mmmmmmmmmm decisions decisions.
Also a bit more time than 15 mins to get a feel for it all and have a proper play about
Thanks mate
As for which car to go for depends what your looking for as there 2 different beasts to drive, personally i've always prefered the look of the mk2, no idea why and even after owning a mk3 and saying i'd never go back to a mk2 i did (well kind of)

Diff is a peloquin that i got from jabba last year when i had the k03s mapped
Cant fault the diff itself but the bolts that came with it wern't alot of kop, if you go peloquin i'd look at fitting better quality bolts

Finally managed to give the car a clean so thought i'd post up a few more pics, having a few issues at the moment but will hopefully have them resolved in the next week or so.
Untill then it's locked in the garage doing nothing
