cheers buddy, its all about the smooth delivery too, with this turbo it wont be nothing nothing nothing then gone, it will spool up quickly and pull to the limit hopefully, with supporting mods the torque will be just as impressive if not more than the BHP. still waiting on my brakes, want to polybush and have adjustable camber on the front too and go and abuse it on track, then drive home in comfort. id rather 300bhp in comfort, its a refreshing change from the screaming nature of the civic despite how much i loved that car

best way, to learn off others mistakes, the amount of reading i've done is silly like the engine build i did on my civic. the amount that popped up after id done everything and the amount of questions id had, danny_lad has a great deal of knowledge on this motor, and ive been pestering shit out of him

KO3s ftw, a mate with a Mk3 Ibiza Cupra ran a 13.1 1/4mile with a KO3s hybrid only running 250bhp (although that was near enough 250 throughout most of the revs, due to a manifold problem/issue)

thats not bad, factoring in the octavia is a bit heavier still shouldn't be too shabby

Yeah, that was on a standard manifold, but he had had problems with a uprated one, so was mapped for the uprated one, hence the 250 accross most of the rev range!

When I had one of these engines in an Alhambra for a couple of days while the Ibiza was in, acting like a dick gave me 23mpg.

A good run gave me 34-35?
