Tom.'s Darkside Developments big turbo'd Ibiza TDI

[Tom.]

Cheers fella. Was almost tempted to leave the front plate off, and just put it in the front window.

Plates now on the car:

Progress is great Tom! Don't suppose you got any pictures of which feed you used off the washer bottle for the ic spray?

 

[adam kelly]

I'm liking the pic with out plate

 

[Tom.]

I didn't get a picture Scott, but its the one nearer to the offside. You have to make sure the nozzle sits higher than the pump though, otherwise it allows the water to just run off.

Cheers Ad. Very tempted to take it off again!

 

[adam kelly]

What you doin with your front bumper are you goin facelift or keeping that one on ?

 

[MarkWales]

One of Daz's super duper stickers.

Where could I get one?

 

[Tom.]

Adam, not sure yet. Considering going aero with a bit flat carbon splitter.

Marl, I'll have a word with my mate, as to my knowledge, there's only maybe 4 of these in existence.

Saw you tonight mate between Swinefleet and Estoft, pretty sure it was you anyway. The intercooler looks great, very intimidating lol. As for the facelift bumper try motorhog at askern near doncaster, they might have one.

 

[Tom.]

Yeah that will no doubt have been me. Been through to my mates in Luddington. Never even noticed a Ibiza on my way! Bumper wise, im after either the cupra or aero bumper. It sits a lot deeper than the facelift one, and for what im planning, it will work better.

Hy mate, like your ride!

Have you been in contact with Ryan lately? (BB related....) a true horror story...

 

[Tom.]

Yeah was down at Ryan's the other day. Having trouble with his manifold supplier. What's a true horror story?

 

[majesty78]

Tom, may you delete some of your private messages please ;-) cant send PM to you....:-(

 

[Tom.]

I've deleted a couple now Alex, so try again if you like.

Hey Tom, it's Luke (fabia owner, met at GTI inters).

was just wondering if you could send me a dyno graph of your car with the stage 2 on it?

I've just drove home my GTB'd pd130, and you won't be dissapointed..........

 

[Tom.]

Alright Luke. Glad to hear your happy with it. Ryan was saying how well it went. When i get chance I'll scan my graph from the other day. Started fitting my 2265 today. What a nightmare its been! so little space! Everything looks top quality though.

Hoping to get it finished off tomorrow night then gonna drop it with Ryan for mapping. Hoping for some big figures!

Nightmare? I assume you've got the same kit that's fitted to mine though? There's a little trick to fitting it, Ryan told me, you need to undo the dogbone, and pull engine forward to fit it in one go.

You fitting injectors and cam at same time too? It'll be very good to see how much more power you'll make compared to mine!


I can't post a link to mine on Darksides website, until I've posted 15 posts, or I would!

If you could send me a copy of a graph to [email protected] I'll be grateful, just wanna compare yours to mine lol!

 

[Tom.]

Fitting a set of injectors with +80% nozzles, but leaving standard cam in whilst Colt bring out their stage 3 cam.

Once I get chance I'll send you a copy. Either that, or you could mail Ryan and ask him as he's got a digital copy of it.

We'll have to meet once mines been done. Be good to compare.

 

[Tom.]

So **** just got serious. Picked my new turbo, manifold, downpipe and injectors up from Darkside Developments last friday.

First, pictures of the new parts:

Pictures of them against the previous items (old turbo is Turbodynamics stage 2 PD150 hybrid, new is DarksideDevelopments GTB2265VK):

And some of them in the process of being fitted to the car:

Car is currently away with Ryan for mapping, and should have some numbers early next week, all being well.
Spoke to him earlier, and his words were "its running with the base file and is a bit mental even on low boost", so cant wait to get it back! It's also spooling earlier than expected, which is a bonus!

 

[jonjay]

Looks awesome Tom, really pleased you gone through with it all.

Good luck with mapping.
