a pic with it on ?
 
i ont have it on yet as i have to turn a bracket round for it to fit, and i need to cut it down as my measuring skills let me down lol
 
no the turbo is coming off next week or week after but she is a lot faster than before but still not as she should be, everything has been changed or tried to be sorted so i think its just the turbo now mate;(
but she goes well left my mates 215bhp golf turbo standing:)
happy days lol
 
ok a little update went to brad house today to fit my new 1.8T OEM pancake pipe!!now i got rid of my allard round pipe but you know what i think this is more free flowing, the noise the turbo makes now is mental(when it works)..
also the flutter the turbo makes is mental its like i proper dump valve!!
also the noise through the air box is crazy loud its like a new car sound wise its great;)
 
strange that init!1
must be cos its a thin metal instead of a thicker metal??
who knows all i know is i love the sound lol
 
ok a little update again loo
was out last night doing some spirited driving and my mate in his 245bhp ibiza tdi(hybrid obviously)
only managed to pull 1 and half lengths in the space of 1 mile up a slight incline abit steeper than santa pod!! so considering my car is not running right due to the turbo issue she must still be pushing out near on 250bhp to stay close to him:)
cant wait for the turbo to be rebuilt she should be an animal and get rid of that stupid flat spot that allows my mate to pull that small gap
the pancake pipe i dont think has made any difference to performance but i do think the car sounds soooooo nice now

Not to mention we're going to look at tweaking that torque a little :)

If the dyno you went on is accurate, I think we can make maybe 25lbs/ft more without loosing that top end power :funk:
