| Re: forge TIP Fitted Was it hard to fit or did you get some poor soul to do it?

| Re: forge TIP Fitted I think it does help the turbo breath a bit better. I fitted one myself bpm, it wasn't that bad with two of us. Just takes a while to wiggle it into place... it's really tight against one of the coolant pipes. In position it still touches....

| Re: forge TIP Fitted I chickened out and got Revolution, who supplied the TIP to fit it. Thats all the mechanical bits done now so will probably being getting it remapped when I get back off holiday mid June. Got the car booked in for a service today at MB Motorsport. I've heard good reports about MB Motorsport (North East Jabba agents), and they are only charging £110 for a service, compared to £270 by silbury skoda! Will be picking the car up shortly so will let you know about the quality of the service |

| Re: forge TIP Fitted Thinking of going to Jabba to get it remapped. Spoke to a few guys from the northeast including one who has used jabba several times and all have positive comments MB Motorsport carryout Jabba remaps but don't have a rolling road. They can get jabba to custom make a remap for the mods you have on your car but I would prefer to get the car on a rolling road. Bit of a drive all the way to Peterborough but I'm certain the return journey will be a little bit quicker |

| Re: forge TIP Fitted Where are MB Motorsport Michael? My vRS needs a service and could do with the cambelt etc done. I tried there website but it seemed to be down. edit. It's ok, i've found there details He quoted me the same price roughly £110, it might be a little bit more as i will need my air filter done too. Your car was there when i called. He said, 'funny you should ask, we have a one here at the moment thats just been serviced' I asked if it was black. I presume it's yours  It wasn't Michael (the owner?) i spoke too it was someone else, really nice guy. He was talking about the dodgy plastic impellor water pumps when i asked about getting the cam belt done too. So, i'm just waiting on a price for the cambelt, he said he will ring me tomorrow.

| Re: forge TIP Fitted Cannot fault the service from MB Motorsport. £110 for a service and he also changed the variable servicing schedule to a yearly one (which I asked for) The guys know they stuff regarding the VAG range. Will certainly being using them now for servicing and other work on the car |
