Kaan W Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Certainly pushes you back in your seat even on low boost the torque kick is unreal You'll have to take me for a spin one day mate, bet it feels insane with the high stall at that power. I feel like that driving a Seat Leon 1.8 T At 4.9 bar of boost probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Your engine bay looks miles better than it did before boys! That blue was nasty!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Your engine bay looks miles better than it did before boys! That blue was nasty!! Agreed James. Love the look, just need to finish the intake side. But that will have to wait for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbt Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Your engine bay looks miles better than it did before boys! That blue was nasty!! Wanted to get to a more oem type colour scheme earlier but this was the ideal opportunity. Want to continue improving as we go along but will take time to finish it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abtin90 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Congrats on the result. As for the engine bay there's been a massive improvement on how it looks. Any idea on when you'll be doing the next round of upgrades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbt Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 How did you find it with the Hi stall ? Is it an issue our your used to having the Hi stall ? It wasn't too bad as I am used to how it drives with the hi stall. It would probably concern someone who was not used to it. To make the most of the power and how it's delivered I will definitely be going back to stock converter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Agree with the Blue comment - Black looks more OEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbt Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Agree with the Blue comment - Black looks more OEM Thanks Fitz - it's funny how your tastes change, I have gone from having a kitted car back to stock look and bluebay back to stockish black look. One thing I won't change is going back to stock power:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Managed to get a little bit of time yesterday to tidy up the engine bay, mainly around the turbo side. Now there's more room in the bay we could clean up the dirt that's gathered over the years. Looks alot better now, need to do the rest of the bay now!
