Have to say I'm considering Turboing the ABF in my Cordy. If I could get the parts cheap bit by bit.
well I haven't been writing here for a long time
I managed to screw one turbo up ( with the clogged air filter) and rebuilt it
with a larger cold side - racing T4 off a cossie + hoolset wheel 56/70mm.
so we have introduced lag into the equation - but the thing pull like shite afterwards ( from 3 800 - 6 000 ) and you have to keep it on the boil.
Raj, I manged 15.7 too with missing 2nd twice . . . and 14.7 with a slow 1-2 change - preserving the 'box
hold boost is 1.25 - peaks to 1.5 -
i have seen 240 = 150 mph on the speedo - no idea what true speed is .

Well I finally managed to get the wheels I bought from Andy on a lorry to BG , but they are still rooming around Northern Europe
Anyway - i have ordered 550cc Injectors and will target 1.8 peak and 1.5 bar hold boost (22 PSI) .... i don't care what will happen but I am sure motor will hold - not sure for the gearbox it holds well so far as with the new turbo setup change from 2nd to 3rd has to be lightning quick or else you fall in lag.
I managed to show a few cars of big time - the car is a real beast up to 200 km/h and from there on to 230 240 is a bit slow ( diesel gears)
generally the car is very drivable, reliable, and unbelievably - economic...
i get about 220-230 miles out of a fuel tank ....
Icecavern - go for it !

a few updates
the car is in for recon of gearbox - we did not change 2nd gear synchro last time.
also the new turbo makes this motor have some real twist action - at 1.4 bar the clutch slips a bit , so i am guessing an oil leak on the clutch , either fro crank side , or gearbox side .... or just a worn out clutch - we will see
MS extra is fine - car starts and idles properly, boost is relevant to TPS so i can really fight wheelspin.
the 550 cc injectors would allow for peaks of 1.8 with a hold boost of 1.5 .
will keep an update

update
i have not been driving this car for a while . it is sad and i miss it soo badly. Ski holidays in Austria a few business trips and i have left the car in a garage .
will fit the new brakes 330mm ( 13 inch ) , 17 from Andy, XYZ coilovers are on the way in, 2 recaro seats and Scrhoth seatbelts.
car still has not been remapped , clutch is still slipping , have not had the time at all.
i am a bit distracted from 2 facts :
- i bought a 323 BF GTX MAZDA for snow rallying ( it iz a 4x4 - 1988 model) that is huge fun to drive in snow and wet .
- i lost a friend and am really sad about him - he was not driving , gave to a friend to drive . car is 2007 N12 Impreza.

Hi to everyone I know
Well I sold the kit off my car , and decided to go the big time WRC style , as much as possible.
Here are the new specs on the car, i plan to build NEXT year .
- ported and polished head
- H beam Rods
- better exshaust manifold - equal lenght
- Mk 4 1.8 turbo inlet manifold, made to fit a 16v head
- 630 cc injectors
- GT 2871 R - Garret Dual BALLBEARING turbine
- TIAL 38 mm External wastegate
- Home made ceramic clutch, pressure plate off an ABF
- Audi S3 Quattro Gearbox - code FMN - 6 speed
- Haldex rear diff
- VW Passat G60 rear axle made to fit a Haldex unit in it
- 4 pot brembo brakes at the front
- ViPec 44 ECU
- external fuel tank
- road roll cage
- Recaro recliner seats
so there it is. 4x4 Cordoba 400 horses , undestructable drivetrain.
I have got most of the stuff so far, bar the ECU , and propshaft, cv joints etc.
here is the last clip at 1.2 bar on my car , not really trying hard.

Wow the next evolution of your cordy sounds extremely interesting, how are you going to control the haldex on the rear diff?
Weitec hicon gt's or gtn's will give you reasonable suspension at a good price with a lot of adjustment, or you could just go for weitec ultra gt's but these aren't adjustable.
Guys
I am soon to start my project , everything i need is available , apart from suspension.
The Vipec44 controls the Haldex through one of the auxiliary ouputs, but it need a feedpack for closed loop contorl of the haldex valve. We ingeniosly fitted a tps ( 0-5 volt signal ) to the pump motor , tested in on a sister car - Mk3 16v with s3 drivetrain and haldex and it works perfect.
The Vipec allows for 3d map , so there are 2 variables that can control the haldex - in the test case it is gear, and revs .
I will post plenty of photographs as soon as the work starts, sometime next week.
So far I have disasembled the engine , ported and polished the head and each and every valve myself , went to the shop for new valveguides and it is good to go.
I will use my old Iasa pistons with new rings , and a honing ont the block , mated to new H beam rods , and lets see if the old lady will hold toghether.
The turbo as I said will be non gated GT2871 with 0.63 ar , hope we can manage the 400 crank horsepower range , or around 300 whp .
The cams are off ABF as they provide higher lift than standard and at the same time overlap is not huge, good for turbocharged motor with strong midrange requirements.
Bmw M3 ( E46) COP will provide the sparks, as they are designed for reliable ignition at higher than 7000 rpm.
Bosch 044 pump in an external tank ( not designed yet ) , will provide the fuel to the custom fuel rail, and 650 cc siemens deka injectors.
Hope everything to be in order and have a dream Corbie WRC style in a few months.
No expense is spared on the car, without overdoing anything.

Hi Ivan,
You'll need to host the pictures using 'flickr' or Photobucket or something, and then linking to the pictures on here......
Item #10 in the rules gives more instructions on what to do: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/faq.php?faq=scn_faqrules_item
