Just watched your vid, is your recirc blanked off? (sorry, probably earlier in the thread, haven't managed to read it all yet

) Sounds lerrrvely

**jayeastanglia** · Wednesday 22nd February 2012, 19:17

yeah the recirc valve is blanked off and currently no DV but I do have a take off on the top intercooler pipe for a DV as old owner fitted a forge DV but still had the standard one in place..also got a smooth alloy inlet pipe from air filter to turbo..but as a temporary measure mainly as I am doing a 400 miles round trip while moving house I have refitted the standard air box back on,I havent noticed any power diffrence between the 2

Got myself one off these also, looking forward to getting it fitted after hearing yours. I take it that's how loud it is with the induction kit fitted rather than the airbox

**jayeastanglia** · Thursday 23rd February 2012, 10:45

@andy yes thats how loud it is with the K&N fitted in that pic..but for the milage i am doing backwards and forwards I fitted the standard air box but am planning on fitting a free flow air filter and see what that does to performance..

**jayeastanglia** · Sunday 4th March 2012, 11:47

And well chuffed with the result at hlm dyno day.Wasnt so chuffed on the first few runs as only made 165ish due to lack of boost which was sort of fixed but still needs a proper look at but no leaks were found and it goes even better than before when i thought it was quick then its absolutly quick now..fuelling looks ok as well and thats bearing in mind its only on normal unleaded

sounds like you had a good day............well done mate

**AndysR** · Sunday 4th March 2012, 18:49

That's good power is the car chipped or is it just an MBC?

mapped

**jayeastanglia** · Sunday 4th March 2012, 21:15

Yeah mapped by HLM and standard bcs and its boosting about 12psi so may get upped a little in the future if I can but not silly high...

mine only boosted to 12 psi after a hlm remap, ended up being cos of a turbo on its way out

**jayeastanglia** · Sunday 4th March 2012, 21:52

mine uses no oil at all in 2500miles and no smoke so my actuator may be a bit weak but a bigger turbo may be the way forward nothing to big and laggy maybe a 16t which i hope will give it a bit more go without being to laggy especially round here with short slip roads and tightt corners and silly subarus which like sitting on my tow bar till i give it a squeze on the throttle(I so like doing that my mpg is down to 16mpg..)

**jayeastanglia** · Sunday 4th March 2012, 21:59

3rd and 4th gear acceleration which seems ok and boost gauge goes over much further than before,my aftermarket boost gauge may not be accurate either but goes to 12psi..look at the average mpg which was reset before i came up to hlm and i have now done about 150-200 miles since..

**jayeastanglia** · Wednesday 18th April 2012, 17:07

New stainless straight through exhaust just been fitted..

sounds great but a little unsure of the tailpipe though,much more beafier sound than before plus the old bodged exhuast was leaking a bit in a few places and didnt flow as well as the new one..

well done mate, thought you were gonna sell it lol, lose the grill and put some volans on mate imo

**jayeastanglia** · Wednesday 18th April 2012, 17:23

funny you should say about volans.Went and had a look at a set yesterday but 2 were cracked and seller wanted silly high amount for them(2 were in great condition though and 4 v good tyres)
go a bigger brake set up to fit as well as soon(missed postie today and its 24 hours till i can go pick them up so will get them on my way home from work in the morning)

Saw this but its wont fit mine..same colour as well..
