Milltek & Bluefin fitted
« on: 28 May 2017, 21:14 »
Ok got the turbo back milltek fitted along with eibach sportline springs , 10&15mm spacers and then bluefin stage one .
Milltek was a pain to fit . Needed tweaking and also had to have spacers fitted to a brace that crosses the subframe under the exhaust, but we got there . Sports cat non res with titanium tails and it sounds perfect, I did worry it could be to loud but it's good !  Then after 20 miles I got engine management light come on . Checked it out and found it was the cat, re set and then got 50 miles before it came back on.
Up loaded the bluefin and was very impressed, big difference, would expect it's now somewhere around 270-280 Bhp so well happy with that for £415.
Eibach springs have reduced the altitude just right for me , but ride seems to be not much different! Perhaps slightly firmer but hardly noticeable, the 10&15mm H&R spacers are looking good but on a fast dip/bump the tyres are rubbing !
So exhaust sounds great but needs management light addressing , bluefin along with the milltek has really opened up the power , and I my have to remove the spacers ( rather not if there's another option)
Few small issues that ought to be easily addressed

Have you done the "fender screw" mod? Seems to stop any rubbing
