Got back from shark after an eventful day, Left the house at 6:45, drove about 10 mins down the road and the car went into limp mode not good with a 2hr journey.
Eventually got to shark around 9 not bad considering i had no power what so ever.
1st they put the sportlines on and had massive trouble getting my wheels off as they had bonded with the hubs, these have made so much difference to the handling!
Front
Back
Then they carried out a baseline rr run without the dpf and obviously no longer in limp mode, the car made 195 bhp, ben realised the car had already been mapped and not very well (explains why it juddered and span up so much) after putting it back to standard it ran 173 bhp and 387 nm torque.
Then they started to map it the car made 202 bhp and 429 nm torque on stage 1
Then ben started on stage 2 as i am using their sts sytem so i can switch between stage 0,1 & 2 which made 218 bhp and 455 nm torque and is so smokey, it actually filled the whole of their workshop with black smoke, ben was saying when the injector recall was carried out they don't set them up properly so once i get them set up the smoke should nearly disappear.
The rear end this moring, think i will be running stage 1 every day now
A photo doesn't show how dirty it is, i will do a 50/50 shot when i clean it next
On the drive home the A1 was shut from Grantham so the diversion went up to melton mowbray then back to stamford which added another hour onto the journey home so ended up getting home at 10:15.
Really pleased with the results and has completely transformed the car over night.

Not really any difference to the noise, still sounds like a tractor lol, its just the power that is diiferent it feels a lot faster but its smooth with it.
Yeah its the standard exhaust, I am gonig to get a price from powerflow or somewhere similar to get the backbox taken off and new tips put on, take it your exhaust isn't standard?
Yeah, mine is standard but I think at some point in time Seat changed suppliers so later one is different. Think first ones were Remus and later made by Seat.
I found out when had small rear end hit which needed new bumper and exhaust, the repair company couldn't source the original part number so had to purchase the new part number. Looks loads better:
So I was happy

That looks loads better than mine! I do think its something that really lets the looks of the car down having such a tiny exhaust tips cmpared to the size of the cut outs for them plus no rear diffuser, I am hoping its not going to be to expensive to get the back box taken off and new tips put on so basically a straight through system.
You wont regert getting a dpf delete and remap done, just make sure you use a good company to do it.
If I get new tips welded on I might as well get the back box removed to free up any restrictions.
