Appreciate that but it looks like when they were putting feelers out for dealers they were trying their luck and making prices up?

There was some fallout at the beginning of this thread about prices so it had been discussed.

I.e trade was the same as public for development turbo's.

Then all denied and PMs to the relevant parties.

Oki doki maybe I missed that
 
We have lots of projects on the go right now as well as normal day to day stuff but when we get the time we'll jump back on the baby golf !
We're going to test the Loba with just 2+ hardware next and utilize the N75 just to see how it performs, so stock injectors no WMI etc
It shouldn't be too long now before there are concrete prices for certain power kits.

The prices aren't solid?? I might be having a brain fart but Loba Si said several units were ready and for sale?
Is it a lucky dip what price you get?

Bit Harsh Mick, I really don't know why you've gone so anti Loba all of a sudden ?  :sad1:
I also don't know whats gone off behind closed doors or prices mentioned to you or others, but I do know your not interested in this turbo so why don't we keep the thread on track & just keep testing it in different states of tune and see the results
If it works it works & that's all good if it doesn't then it's no problem as there's only me & Revo who have one at the minute in the Uk so no one else has lost out


Surley if the prices are made more competitive (if the turbo performs that is) its better for everyone interested ?

I've certainly lost interest in anything Loba.  There's plenty of kit on the market that performs that I'd rather fit.  Loba just doesn't sit right with me.

Hope your cars go well in testing and you get some good results Stevie, I'm sure you will  :driver:

Sorry that you have taken that turn Mike.
As well as the Stage III of APR has a market i'm sure that this will have a place to fill. Having mine in the hand shows craftmanship above and beyond, so no faults it the item itself.
Let's see what the result will be and take it from there.  :happy2:

Over the top mod list ;o)

For goodness sake..

Pick up phone, speak to Simon and he'll tell you it's about €3200 which works out at about £2700-£2800 depending on exchange rate, they're on a shelf ready to ship.

How about approx 400-420 BHP on road fuel, stock inter cooler, stock in tank pump, Loba HPFP and injectors

Steve will tell you what else you need but I think this was at about 1.5 Bar with the so far "unproven" EGT issues from the mega high 2 bar boost map not even featuring, thinks its injectors its needs and an adapted intake which might even be an adapted OEm one.

looks totally stock, more power than Stage2+ and reckon on about 1 day to fit and about £4k plus map.

If you want to go for mega power turned right up all the time, then get all the stage 2+ bits straight away.

Me.....I'd be happy with DSG 4WD and a lazy 400 BHP 25-30mpg and enough torque to pull the side of your house off, mega reliability....drove a stage 1 RS3 once and it was quite religious...drove fantastic.

There's a load of bullsh*t around this turbo....don't believe all you read from people with vested interests in their own products, speak to them as well about their own Kits not other peoples whether its an AKS or APR or BSH or whatever and come to your own conclusions...

It's also fair to say LOBA don't try to rubbish the competition, that scores points in my eyes.

Start at 400BHP and as other tuning companies come on board buy more kit and up the power, at 400 BHP you won't need internals either, if Steves dyno is 10% out then its still 450 BHP max...on a generic map. Now here's the kicker...it's available on a £12k 57 plate S3.....you don't need to spuff 30-40k on a Golf R or TTRS to go

The price for the Turbo has only been out 10 days....all the speculation was just that....if you haven't ASKED the price then everybody is guessing ....its easily sorted by an email or a bloody phone call
