It's my car !!

It started off in life as a 118BHP std S1.

I converted the Engine nearly two yrs ago, I installed a 1.8T TT motor mated to a Seat Leon gbox (6 speed). I ran the std turbo KKK K04 with 250BHP for a year with no problems - I also wrote the manual of how to do it, over 120 pages fully illustrated.

Having met a bloke who is mad about the Garett Turbo (Phil) I was convinced to put a GT28RS trubo on it. Phil fabricated many of the Intake and charge pipes and heat shielding for me - cheers Mucker.

The oil and coolant pipes were made locally and the Exhaust was custom mage with V Band flange mated to 3" pipe.

I'm running 660cc injectors and the car was fully mapped at Emerald. The engine is totally std (internals) therefore the revs were kept sensible 6200rpm redline (soft cut limiter). The car spent 4 hours on the rolling road mapped by Dave and put out a mild 320BHP and 285ft/lb torque.

The car is reliable, any more power means more revs and boost + uprated con rods etc........... it will cost me £2500 to get 30BHP+ more, is it worth it ? the car's awesome as it is. I drove it to the ring and back this year and all's that went wrong with it was a blown indicator bulb !!

As SiB said I don't drive the car on the limit (the rev limiter is there for a reason) and I'm not the best driver in the world, but It felt comfortable at Combe last week.

Glad people liked it - thanks for the track day, it's the best on I've ever done.
