Well, after owning the Cupra for a little while i've posted no pics or anything about the car!  So... today i took it to a company in Preston called ADS. These guys know their stuff about VAG cars and tuning them. Anyway the car spent the best part of the day as it hadn't been running right since i got it (boosting problems) Anyway it turns out that a bit of the pipework was bodgey amongst other things. It's all sorted now and the car runs like a dream. Whilst i was there i ended up getting a forge 007p DV recirc, and a dynatwist Induction kit, i now have a whoosh sound  Not as loud as an atmospheric but it does sound nice, anyway here's some pics of the new shiney bits  and some graphs of how it was running for those of you who are mechanically minded (I'm not)
PICS
How it was running

Too true that's why it's going back on only this time it'll be black and yellow

For anyone interested, here's a quick vid of my friend driving the car, i don't think the DV sounds too bad for a re-circ, sounds best at the end

fuck i really miss this car!!!! LOL!!! glad to hear you sorted it all, i was told it was the MAF, but there you go, Just for a laugh if you take the cover off the filter it'll make the DV sound very loud, but get heatsoak!!! You also have a brake light out!!!!! What is it boosting to know?
