Never done something like this before, couldn't get on the Audi/Seat forum all day for some reason, just wondered if anyone on here has done one before and how easy it is and whats involved? Any common issues i may have on the way?

a mate of mine fitted a 1.8 20v into a lupo
and put a nortech top mount manifold on and a gt30..

makes over 400 horses

Ahh, i was on about the job in question, ive got a seat leon 1.8 20v turbo and the oil seals are shot, got a replacement turbo off ebay and was lookinig to fit it but cant get on the seat forum and wanted to tackle it today, just not got a clue with these engines! cheers

Aahh sorry lol, just presumed you meant swapping for a biger one lol!

There not too bad tbh mate,
Quite buried, i would get it done pretty straightforward, but im a mechanic...
If your just a general diy'er thats not easily put off then you should be able to get the job done given time,

Its not an hours job tho!! Expect to be there 3-4 hours

Not sure what space is like on leon but I done one on a mk2 golf what a ring piece guy sat the engine too far back and the turbo is on the back just remember you might need some axel stands to get to the lower hoses/pipes from turbo good luck
