As for how it rates against mufflerectomy, there in a complete different league. The mufflerectomy has nothing on this system. Complete different sound altogether.

That sounds to me like you're much happier with this setup now. If it's like mine, it'll get better and louder with age. ;) :D

Dont think videos ever do noises justice really. Will be good to hear it if you're running at GTI international - if you're going that is. :)

BIG Things!

Major update time!

Well its been a while since ive done any big mods, so naturally i had to go all out on this one.

First up a new intercooler.

SEAT Sport with forge pipework:

Previously had a Forge FMIC, but decided to upgrade futher, for reasons which will become clear.

I then took it to a helpfull bloke in Leeds for some more goodies.

Im now:

The power figures?

233.3bhp and 385ft/lbs.

Not bad for a 5 door ;)

Also got another toy on order for the car.

Hopefully by the weekend after this, I should have a Devils Own water/meth injection kit. Hoping this will clear up a bit of the smoke and at the same time boost power.

I expect a bit more power with the meth, but as for bedding in, doubt it.

Went for a brand new stage 2 PD150 hybrid from Turbo Dynamics.

Was working shift for 3 month 12 on 2 off, so quite a bit of work to sort the money and do it all at once.
