I am looking at Revo but they require a 4bar fuel pump P-torque would be a gd drive aswell actually sort of having an idea mate if you didnt mind! If i do choose P-torque ive been thinking about getting a boost gauge maybe you could help with fitting be a good chance to catch up again! Also thought about removing the SAI and n249 but dont wanna intrude on your days off :lol: just a thought mate thats all.

Just a small update today was in linwood and decided to pop into argos to look for some mats since ive never had any for the car and came across these for £14.99 i wasnt too sure about the red as its a bit brighter than the standard Cupra interior but once i got them set down i do like them!




Just a small update before the big one :D

got nearly the same mats and i think theyre savage!!

Also ordered a Newsouth Power gasket for the car aswell from awesome http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=3718&xSec=338 hope its worth the money as it is a bit pricey :lol: !



The intake manifold gasket is a nice upgrade.

Will lower your intake temps and CFs obviously.

I installed mine during summer, not the same brand though. Mine is evoheatshield

Let us know how the car pulls after you upgrade you exhaust mani mate!

Well finally got the INA Mani fitted ive noticed a big difference in pick up i know its not good for your clutch but low down revs pick up in 2nd has greatly improved and so on up the gear changes! I now need a new turbo to manifold gasket though as the one i have is goosed anybody got any ideas where i could get one im thinking somewhere along the lines of awesome im sure they would do one? Also if your replacing the exhaust mani id maybe recommend a new gasket to go with it we used the original as it was still in good nick! Car seems to have a slightly different tone around the bonnet area im not sure if its due to the new manifold or the goosed gasket!

Still to fit my newsouth power gasket though going to wait a while then get it on as im in no rush!

So your car feels a lot more responsive with the manifold fitted?

You feel that it has more torque on low revs..?

How about high revs?

Do you really feel an improvement during acceleration or minor things?

Its not a HUGE improvement mate but i did feel the car was more responsive lower down in the revs although the rest of the power felt the same really its worth the money but my turbo to manifold gasket is goosed and i think thats whats making a noise when the turbo is spooling so hopefully once i get that replaced all will be well if not then one of the bolts isnt tight enough!
