my mk 3 ibiza tdi

There frickin' sweet !

toyo's are the boys like, so far not come across a better comprimise between grip and life span they are a good alrounder and stacks of grip in dry, wet and even snow lol

The one's i have on at the min haven't let go once and i threw it into a round a bout at 60 today awesome tyre in my opinion piss all over the T1R's you'll love em dude

funnily enough i had proxes 4s on the pictured ibiza above and yeah theyre a pretty good tyre although mine didnt last too long... mind you i dont know how much life was left when i bought the car to be fair but yeah good tyre

well we will see how they go, i am spraying my wheels in finish tonite and have my new Allard EGR delete

i fitted my new EGR delete and the old EGR was full of gunk YUMMY!

MMM nice i hate cleaning them out it goes everywhere

Seen this too many times hate cleaning those things

mmmm tasty, looks about as bad as mine did lol

usual build up of crap lol, hate the fact diesels were ever fitted with EGR valves!! ive seen it that bad it half's the size of the inlet ports on the inlet manifold

Jason

well for those of you who don't know, a few things have been done to this car at the min, went round today and managed to re-route his entire boost circuit for the better aswell ill tell him to update it cos as you can all see he's well into the updates lol

Hi everyone its about time for an update lol the white wheels are fitted and are on toyo proxes 4 and i boutght some nickle colour bolt covers, am using these without the center cap partly because i havent painted them and secondly i think they look more motorsport, abit like 5 bar comps.






I've also sent my turbo off to get reconditioned at midlands turbo with the help of jason and mitchell, so big thanks lads
And i also got it uprated, bigger compresser wheel and houseing:P
here are some picks of the old turbo.





Here are some pictures of he new turbo, and my clean sparkly inlet manifold







Here are some random pics of my dials and boost gauge lol




I have re-ran all my boost pipes to and from the intercooler to shorten the circuit and it seems to work well, and they are all 51 mm black ones just so they match i havnt got eny pictures of it yet but i will get round to it,
i only have one niggle with the car at the moment it isnt runnig at as high boost with the new turbo, before it was peekin just under 2 bar and running at 1.5 now its peaking and running at 1. I'm not sure wether its because or the uprated componants in the turbo, the new intercooler pipes or the fact that i have re-run the boost gauge pipe?
Oh and its booked in for a full custom exhaust on friday its all happenin.

Nice looking Ibiza there

ta fella

That turbos looking sweet ! may I ask how much was it for bigger housing and wheel ? Did it take long to get back to you too maybe a good future plan for me , wheels are looking brill Done a good job on them

Wheels look great i prefer them without the centres turbo looks nice hope you get the power your expecting are you getting a single back box or staying with the one either side

liking the update mate, just got a new turbo myself,but that looks rather beefy

very tidy!

what sort of power/torque you hoping for with the new setup then?

cheers, they took me 3 weeks an many layers of paint lol. It cost me an extra £70 to uprate the housing and wheel, thats ontop of the £180 to recon it and then vat ontop of it all.

thanx, there a bitch to clean lol. Sadly getting a single exit on the left hand side, it was an extra £150 for one either side and he said it wud reduce flow abit. picked a nice tip tho will have pics on fri hopefully

what turbo did u get for urs ricky and ye she was one shiney mother . to be honest i have no idea about the power figures i want to get exhuast, air intake and water meth then map it all together. need to sort out why it isn t boostin rite enyone have eny ideas?

just whats known as a k03s, its just the same as standard on the exhaust side but has a larger compressor,

it might not be boosting right because its not set up to run the turbo youve put on, it might be registering too much boost and throwing it into limp mode, or it could be a split/cracked vac pipe or a faulty maf, sometimes its a pain in the arse to find that sort of problem

Sometimes when they recon the turbo they adjust the rod length maybe this is the problem ? As I know my turbo I had to re-adjust mine

it defienatly no throwing it into limp as i av experienced that before i got it recond, what du u mean by the rod lenth?

actuator rod length sets the pre-tension on the VTG and therefore the base boost pressure. Does it feel slower than before then, or is the gauge pressure the only thing you're going off?

Also, you seem to slip into txt spk when you're frustrated lol, please don't
