[Forbez]

Spend philipo!

 

[PhilW]

Toast it daz?

I gotta get mine running tonight after jonzy pilfered a load of bits for his MOT. pmsl.

 

[adevtr]

I finally figured out why my car wouldnt start, thank god it was just the battery. the standard battery is in an awkward and shitty place.


Hows everyone been ?

 

[PhilW]

Just a duff battery? Thats it? Lucky you didnt have to dismantle the steering column then.

 

[adevtr]

Yeh just the battery, i was being lazy about it took it to halfords in the end and had the old free battery test, and made out i didnt have any money to buy a battery lol. I got fed up of having to use the jump start on the car every time i went to use it.

 

[PhilW]

Lol. At least its sorted then.

 

[rogers]

i hate little problems like that which cause, so much hassle, mine runnign brilliant,

moved back in with my parents this weekend so look out on the impus buys now lol

 

[adevtr]

I'm looking to get more power out of the cupra, anyone have any idea how much it would be for a gt28rs? i am running a standard k03 with revo stage 2

 

[Daz_gibbo]

doing the work yourself?

 

[adevtr]

That depends, would you say its difficult? (more than likely i wont be doing it myself)

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Id say budget £5k as a minimum. Prob do it for 3kish doing it yourself with 2nd hand parts

 

[adevtr]

Damn!!! didnt realise it was that much, looks like that wont be seeing the light of day anytime soon

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Yeah, after buying turbo kit you'd need manifold, fmic and full exhaust if you havent got them. Downpipe to suit. larger injectors, larger maf, remap at the very least. You'd need a new brake setup for sure with that much power. And you'd have to limit the boost as running a gt28rs to full potential would need internals such as pistons/rods too

 

[adevtr]

ahh right

I have a miltek straight through with a sports cat

Green cotton enclosed

Forge 007 DV

Forge FMIC

And revo stage 2

 

[adevtr]

What do you think of the K03s? is it worthwhile ?

 

[Daz_gibbo]

For the money yeah. If you've got the rest do it. Worth another 20-30bhp. Another 20+bhp and maintanable to 6k unlike a ko3 equipped car.

 

[adevtr]

How much am i looking at ?
