If its from IoW then its my old one, which it probably is. It was technically a stage 3+. The first in the country.
It is a GT28RS, aka disco potato. Its modded from standard marginally, i think just  the intake lip and waste gate. Check the waste gate as it broke after i sold the car.
It was running 340bhp (350bhp on one RR run). That was its max and it ran this for 60,000 miles. APR will likely be reluctant to help as there were several turbos used and several mods made but they were not keen to divulge info to avoid people buying their kits second hand and copying bits etc. As its old (the 1.8T set up) they may be more helpful. Worth a post on their site on SeatCupra.net  - they always responded well on that to me.
If it was mine, it served me well. dont be alarmed if it screams at you on full tilt!
I believe that even with higher octane fuel and intake mani mods similar spec turbos did not produce more power by th way and 350bhp is garretts quoted figures for the GT28RS (from memory).

If its mine, feel free to PM any questions.

What injectors are they? APR swapped them about too!
No it doesnt sound like mine. I sold my golf to a lad in isle of white who has stripped it  :cry:
Check the mani - mine rotted on the inside.
Check the downpipe flexi - mine wore through. The lad on here has a new mani and DP for a lot less than I paid a few hundred miles ago if you do need them.

They 390 bit - comes back to original question of exactly what turbo it is! Sorry, cant help anymore but I would be suprised if thats a real world 390 as they were small ish turbos to suit the 1.8t. Have a look on garrets wed site, its very helpful.

The manni looks fine but not sure if the down pipe is apr but I just put a 3 inch on mine was gonna see if I can modify it to fit as is bigger than what came with it. Not sure what the injectors are but have seen them on the apr website but they don't look like mine so unsure wether they'll fit. Thanks very much for the response I looked on the garret website there's a bit where you put in the part number but the tag one doesn't come up with anything. Thinking wether to change the rods and just see what a map comes up with. My tb broke where cable goes round so was thinking of trying to find a vr6 tb to put on.
