TDs are just such good wheels, it's hard not to love them - light, good looking and cheap.

Not comfy?? How about these then  :signLOL: Joking aside, I've been in a car with these, and they're nice when you're in.

I have read countless build threads on Lotus forums, and nearly all of them who have chosen simple carbon seats with no padding have nearly all said that if you get one the correct size for your body, then they are just as comfortable as padded seats. My probax seats (fiberglass with a bit of foam) are just as comfortable as my recaros were.  :happy2:

Me too :innocent:

Wandering what sort of figures I can expect compared to when just considering hardware and ignoring software.

I have the downpipe, you have the TBE
I'm on stock intake. You have ITG
I have the intercooler, you have the water methonal injection

My lobas really going to be restricted by the stock intake I think

OMG you two.  :grin:

That little DSG box is going to implode.

What can the stock internals handle reliably?

I'm sure I read somewhere that VW tested the 1.4TSI to 280bhp  :smiley:

Thats my thoughts!!  Ill be ok for temps and exhaust flow i think.  Prob 90-95% as efficient as your TBE and WMI, but te intake is something that i need sorting i think :sick:

The ITG one on mine looks worse than the Forge attempt :sick:
