Right here goes first M.O.D to the leon. I ordered a DV+ valve from AMD on the Monday this week as when on boost i felt it wasn't holding strong so thought i would upgrade the DV and read up on the DV + from go fast bits and thought I would give it a go. It arrived first thing this morning and i wasn't going to wait to fit the part so did it straight away. It only took me about 5-10 minutes to fit and once fitted i took it out for a test run. I haven't been on a long drive to test it out fully plus it is very wet conditions out, but i can tell you i wasn't disappointed in the result. Pulls nice and strong all the way through out the rev-range very pleased with this product i would defiantly recommend to anyone wanting to upgrade there DV but not pay to much.

Thanks mate.

There are a couple more things I'd like to do; finish the water meth install, fit Hybrid turbo, custom mapping.

Lexan rear door & tailgate windows & carbon tailgate are on the wish list but maybe a step too far haha

Another Leon, waahoo!!

  got to love them.

The Seat Leon is the more logical choice when compared to a Golf. They usually have more power, more toys, better trim levels and cost less to buy and insure. And they look better too.

There, I said it...

Ban me now.

  that is true I was looking at a mk5 gti ed30 but in the end went for the leon because of this reason.

Can people give me some opinions, would you go for a set of Coilovers or shock and spring kit. I am looking at either Bilstein b12 shock kit or set of decent Coilovers ?

[Tfsi_Mike]

I can't comment on the spring / shock setup but my Bilstein PSS10 coilovers are amazing.

Very civilised and comfy but still great handling on the softer settings and easily adjustable for Trackdays etc
