Here we go.  This is with stock OEM injectors, and OEM MAF housing.  Fitted is a Forge Actuator and yellow spring.



If people really dont think actuator makes a difference, id even be prepared to go out and do logs with a forge actuator and stick a OEM actuator on and show the difference in readings.  It really is night and day and probably one of the best mods going if you want to get high figures out of AGU k03s.

What you have said is totally fair and cant get much more spot on that that.....offering to map cars £FOC.   I think people often fall into the ruthole of once a mapper sponsers a forum, they instantly become the best in the land and their results are gospel.

I have graphs here from the very first remap (even no remap on a stock AGU map with k03s) and you can really see the progression of the mods.  The graphs literally speak for themselves.  Shame I dont have a one of the 238bhp we ran on a stock ID" MAF and stock injectors :(

those are very very impressive figures from a K03s, graph looks awesome too!

would the larger ID maf housing and c20let injectors work with mapping on an AUM/AUQ?

247bhp is an awesome result and looking that torque curve must be fun to drive

No mate I think you can use S3 injectors, it's just us AGU boys have weedy injectors that hit 100% too soon  :sad:

agu K03s with Calibra yellow injectors, 255 fuel pump = 240+bhp and 290lb/ft torque is the way forward. Speak to R-Tech

no went forged internals now running 400bhp + plans to see 500 next year when i first started building mine i spoke to few different companys 1 being jabbasport who said they have tuned 1.8t engines for 10 years and ran 100s of cars at 300+ bhp on standard agu internals without any problems as long as its tuned properly (rtech)

I love reading through old topics!

high 250s and ~300lbft will be coming in 2012 for my engine.....watch this space!

my friend i want more power than 150bhp


a remap will give you more than near 200hp. Have you tried that?

yeah have tried that with my last engine was running 240bhp but now i want to sit in the 300 - 400bhp mark or in the middle ;)

Very much doubt it was 240hp unless it was a remapped BAM / amk. 240hp is optimistic on a remapped k03s.



Read em and weep :D - That's at low boost too. If you think that's hurting the turbo message Nick @ R-Tech and he will tell you different.

I was told a ball point figure to expect around.240bhp From my auq 180 with

 forge tip
3" turbo back non res exhaust
Forge actuator with yellow spring
Cai induction kit
FMIC
Uprated Recirc valve

Is that a bit ambitious??

Nope, about right, all depends on the condition of your engine, actuator and if you have any boost leaks.

I run a AUQ in my Octavia vRS with the following mods -3" Inch Decat into 2.5" Piper system, G60/VR6 Clutch Conversion, Poly'D Dog Mount, Forge TIP, Pipercross Panel Filter, Pro Alloy Intercooler, R-Tech Stage 2 Custom Map (245bhp/250ftlb), Oil Catch Can, PCV, SAI and N249 delete
