Cheers Rich!

She's getting a new windscreen tomorrow, the current one has a few scratches in.

Have booked Rockingham for the end of this month.  Trackday fun!

Then for the best part of this year I will be shipped to the arsehole of the earth for 6 months. :@

In which time I'll be treating her to Helix clutch from @vRSAlex  @ AKS Tuning. Then, all going to plan a TTE420 K04 Hybrid turbo & an @rtechniki map at RTech tuning.

Also looking at a carbon tailgate :evilgrin:

The AKS tuning spacer plate is on ready to install WMI. I'm hoping WMI is a reliable mod. I won't be having the map pushed harder for the WMI.

She will be pretty much finished then  :smiley: :innocent:

Oh I might look at changing the intake (again!) for something not to different but with the addition of oem spec maf housing if it aids performance & mapping

You can't just fit a K04 hybrid and then go "that's enough". It's never enough, there will always be some new, improved part that'll be too tempting to resist for any length of time...

Very, very nearly sold the car a couple of weeks ago.

The car is already fantastic with a k04 and so well setup. I really think the hybrid will make it the perfect package (for me)

I wonder if there would be a company to actually make an after market turbo intake hose to go round the oval oem maf housing to the turbo flange. Then one to go onto the intake pipe to the air filter, going oval into a circle shape. Very similar to the ITG one but actually incorporate an oem maf housing off an old engine cover but using exact fit hoses rather than circular ones fitting over an oval shape.

You mean like this? http://www.awesomegti.com/car/seat/leon1p/samco-turbo-intake-pipe-2-0tfsi-with-k04-turbocharger

Nothing wrong with using a circular pipe anyway, end result is the same, smooth transition from oval to round. I made my own version of this pipe (using round pipes) for a 1/3 of the price

Problem for the other side of the MAF housing is that everyone will be butchering their engine covers differently. Would only work if buying something like the 42DD MAF Housing.

Spmething like the 44DD offering is exactly what Inhad in mind.  I will only bother if Rtech thinks there is a genuine performance advantage when it comes to mapping.

Won't make a difference peak numbers wise, makes the car nicer/smoother to drive off boost, more responsive and a smoother transition between vac & boost (from my experience). Niki found it to be an improvement too, sure he posted about it in the 'TFSI Tuning' group on FB
