Out of interest, does his map smoke much? Caused any other issues?
Haha, not golf BBS thanks. Maybe CH, or LM's. Other than that, I want some pressed plates, leather handbrake cover and maybe LCR splitter.
Yeah the pipes were about £50 when I bought mine, does give you a tap off point for a boost gauge as well.
They will pass MOT without a cat - I even emailed VOSA to check before decatting mine lol. Plus if its a genuine cat you get about £40 in scarp for it!
They all smoke a bit, more than the HDi's, it was about the same power as my mapped 130 was, but much less smoky than mine lol...never was sure if it was due to the boost leaks on my upgraded SMIC system or the shagged cams/lifters.
He did need a new clutch shortly after (done DMF at same time) but at 150k miles you don't expect a clutch to take well to a remap lol. I managed to keep my clutch and just treat it well though. Can't think of any other issues he had, haven't seen him lately though since he moved away for Uni.
Don't the Leons have a leather handbrake lever? I may still have one knocking about in the loft if its same as the Golf one.
