just wanted so say a big thanks to you guys for today.
you took my ibiza tdi 130 up to 175bhp and 299.89lbs of torque,
it was a fun 3 hours home :)

Glad you're enjoying it dude :afro:
I've just replied to your email about that charge pipe, and when you see the price you might consider trying to find a suitable replacement O-ring instead!

which pipe is at fault? O-ring's are about £2 from the dealers :smiley:

The ibiza setup is different to the golf. The compressor pipe points down towards the sump, under/round the engine and into the intercooler. The one in question is probably only 45 - 50mm diameter.
Replacing the o-ring is an option, just remember the lug on that one side of the metal shaft was worn though so it might go again so keep an eye on it for leaks

yeah it looked weird when I stuck my head under one yesterday (father-in-law has a 130 sport)
New pipe it is then if the lugs are worn as it will only continue to blow off (or will do eventually) :sad:
Also noticed all the valves for the N75, and EGR sit in a box on top of the drivers suspension turret :undecided: strange setup indeed but then I guess its pushed for space
-
oh yeh i forgot it was worn......mmmmm will sort it out this week

its only the 90 degree elbow i need, the pipe is in two pieces and i just need the bit that goes into the turbo.
is the ibiza different to the vw or can i get it from vw? its about 20 miles less of a journey

I bought a 90 elbow which went into my intercooler was £50 for something 6 inches long

you will need to get it from seat mate expect to pay a lot unless you know of a friendly dealer that can get you up to 40% off the vag price :wink:
