Is it on yet? What wheels did you end up with?

Yes, fired it up last night to check for leaks. Only one was exhaust, but was last join in the cat back so easy to fix. I still have to drop the radiator fluid as only put water in it for the test in case it was a total fail & I lost all the green stuff. Still haven't driven it.

No idea what wheels went in. I wasn't asked what I wanted when I ordered it & didn't know I had a choice. Probably a good thing as I would have researched it to death & then chosen wrong, lol. I just hope it's not too laggy.

Not planning to go through all that again I assume? lol.

I suspect he put the smaller wheels in yours, did you take any pics? We should start a Stagea Hypergear thread and post pics up with power/lag results. I took quite a few...

my wheels r pretty big i mean its laggy but not all that bad , it does come on friggin hard though i think youll be happy with it, especially after a tune itl make such a difference

When does it come on boost? When does it hit max boost?

Is the bigger Hypergear core more expensive and laggy compared to Leon's?

The billet compressor is $200 more, the customer can decide how laggy they want it to be...

It seems to be around 3500 from what I saw, perhaps you can elaborate Marko? Bit hard without a boost gauge I suppose.

I think the sizes are teh ghey. Their staggered for a start, and I think the fronts run a really high offset? like +47 or something?

Yep. Fronts are +47 I think and rears are +15. I thought about getting 2 sets and run the +15s only but too much hassle.

That's pretty good...your old/my setup hits max boost around the same rpm? so its not too laggy then...

Its not laggy at all for the power, just when you compare it to the stock turbo.

Im going back to edge tomorrow for my attempt to crack 350kw with the GTX3071, will let you know how it goes. I wouldn't like to go laggier than what I have at the moment but where is the fun in stopping there? Next goal will be 400. :)

Haha, no Scotty, not planning to do that again in a hurry.

I took quite a few pics and, because I had my original turbo plus the hi-flowed one, I was able to do side-by-side photos. Makes it easy to see the difference.

Good idea re new thread. It's started so you & Marko can make the first posts with your results. I still have some info to gather before having anything useful to post.

Sprayed up the front bar with a can for the trail fit.....also fitted the rear bar up.

Just waiting on the new rear wing now and then it's time for the spray jobs.

I also fitted a new pre-load spring to the Actuator.....back to 14PSI+ launch's! :P

Looking very mean! When the flairs merge in it'll be spot on. Its a shame the former owner of that front bar decided to cut out the stock Kenstyle/Xanadu style grill. Irrespective, it's looking good. Whats the height from ground to the front lip?

so I finished the test fit up of the front and rear bars today....looks OK imo! Just need to get the rear wing and maybe a vented bonnet on and the outside is done!!!

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
