hmm extra layer of worry there then....

I had a few reduced power moments when I first got the car but after cleaning out the boost solenoid ive not noticed it again (the car was limiting boost pressure to 6/7psi) Id hope to have noticed a clutch issue by now? or is it something that was only highlighted when mapping?

I guess I'll cross that bridge if it comes to it? Can't tell what they will do till we try turning the wick up? 30bhp gain with a few bolt ons isn't to be sniffed at though?

All good on day one of daily driving. Racked up about 60 miles so far (y) Im dropping off some bits tomorrow to have my intake made up and Mapping has been booked for next Weds (11th) at EFI parts. Will be interesting to see how it performs on the dyno or see what issues we come up against...

Listen to how chav tactics this now sounds! Only light throttle till I get It mapped though. RS mode gives it some mad bangs! In normal driving/auto mode it's quite pleasant. Can't wait to hear it with some revs and boost!

No idea, I just call it all "subframe" let me know if you find a price on a new one 👍🏼

Day 2, The plan was to finish the upgrades and wrap everything up, and bar the custom intake I want to make I think we are there. I do need a replacement exhaust clamp though. On with the Forge Motorsport FMIC kit. pretty decent kit, fits up nicely. I didn't fully follow the fitting guide...

So I've been stockpiling parts for a while and this week I picked up a fmic kit. So I decided to book Friday (today) off work to make a start on all the upgrades. I've tried to keep the camera rolling during it so ill knock up an update video soon. All has gone well so far, and its been fun...

from what I can find the early euro 5 200 and 220 had different turbos and intakes but the euro 6 200 and 220 were the same. (euro 5 to 6 switch was mid 2015)

I don't go underneath without one 👍🏼

Ahh cool, I didnt know if it was oem or not. Still rotten and snapped after I took it off so glad I checked it

I used a Millers oil from opie oils, funny stuff, looked like vegetable oil and didn't have the usual strong gearbox oil stink. Thanks its getting there, not so great in the flesh, pictures make it look better than it is :D

Cracked on with a little more service/preventative maintenance. Treated the subframe to a little bit of bilt hamber dynax to hopefully hold back any corrosion. The front looks to be removable like the mk3 and Twingo so will no doubt rot out at some point. The car ticked over 95k this week...

I was planning on starting the turbo swap this weekend but an incorrect delivery of the wrong downpipe and flex pipe means I don't have what I need to make it happen. Annoying but should hopefully be sorted next week. Instead I fitted it up the @Danith Mod.. a super cheap rubber splitter off...

totally forgot about this

I had already purchased a GT performance front downpipe/decat, but I have decided to go one further, all in I guess. Its a 2.5inch decat pipe that tapers to fit the stock exhaust system but I feared it wouldn't be enough or I would find it to still be restrictive when mapping on the big turbo...

Yep i know the one, it's a metal crush gasket 👍🏼 I have 4 or 5 on the way to me already

Itg also on, I fitted it with the ED intake and it was an utter faf tbh. I'll probably bin the intake pipe and make my own

Nah, turbo is getting replaced with a hybrid shortly so didn't bother

The parts list is growing with an ITG induction kit also bagged (y)

Ill probably end up with a forge motorsport item, they are local to me so I can pick one up easily.

GT performance front decat from France arrived today. A bit of a spread of parts to get fitted soon. Just awaiting a fmic, once I get them fitted I will be booking in for a map 👍Wanting to hit 275 (ish) bhp with these bits slapped on. Purely as the planned but then dropped RS.16 had similar power.

:p tit

ahh yeah, numpty, i think i need a moderator to adjust it?

I don't mind a little extra noise, the exhaust isn't all that loud currently so itll add add a little drama to the drive. On all my other cars I've blanked off or removed any recirc valves and just had the "chatter". Might look to see if I can do similar with this 🤔 Like this

Wanted to get the 3 inch intake fitted today, a direct fit it was not...... its seems to be pretty common to swap out the 200 turbo intake pipe to the 220 item, so why not upgrade further, this has a tapered intake adapter and then a 3 inch pipe that is sold to fit in between the turbo and the...

So It was my birthday whilst away, nice to come back to some car presents :D In there we have a td04hl 21tk hybrid turbo, an airtec cold side boost pipe kit and an engine dynamics 3 inch turbo intake kit. Im still waiting on an RS Performance decat down pipe and im still hunting for an...
