Hi guys, i have a mk4 gti , its 150 standard and I've had it mapped to around 190 according to longlife. I'm thinking about taking it up to around 270 as I've heard i can get the ko4 turbo which will allow me to do so? Anyway if not could you point me in the right direction as to what I need next to get more bhp out of my car please.
Thanks in advancee

you can buy a hybrid turbo that will see close to these figures :smiley:

Hybrid your need
Injectors
FMIC
4bar fpr
Decent exhaust 3" turbo back
Intake pipe
Fuel pump 4bar+
Decent air filter
Ko4 your need the above and
Exhaust manifold
Custom down pipe
Turbo oil and water lines
Probably missed a few bits but your better with a hybrid and pretty much over 300ft-lb you need to forge your internals
-
Thanks for the reply, I already have an aftermarket exhaust on her from longlife so should that be ok? It's going to be a while until I can afford to do it just getting some info beforehand
-
You won't necessarily need a 4bar FPR, depends who will be mapping it
-
would it be worth upgrading the clutch and flywheel too ?

If a rebuild is necessary, would it not be better to start off with a BAM engine?

or buying a car that is already running that power with everything done :smiley:

this car has all been done although it needs some bodywork but cheap for everything that's been done to it :smiley:

I might even look at selling 1 of my mk4s for that car :smiley:
-
it does look nice but a bit too far for me to travel and get it home

You'll get 270hp with standard k04 lad sold mine to making over 300hp k04, unitronic stage 2+ tune, fmic, v4 pro manifold, 3" dp, and meth, bloody quick for standard k04.
