Upgrading From KO3s to KO4 - (Doing It Now, Just Fitted Front Mount)

[Ashmond]

Anybody done this, what did you have to upgrade apart from the following:

turbo
downpipe
manifold
injectors
oil & water feeds

When changed over will the car run without a KO4 map? Who is the best person to get a map done by? I have got a map done for my KO3s will the KO4 enough for gentle daily use until the KO4 map is done (a week)

Thanks

I know alot of guys have done it on uk mkiv's just havent signed up to that yet

You'll need to do some tweaking with the boost hoses, you'll see why when you offer it all up. Shouldn't be too much of a hassle since you have a custom fmic anyway.

What do you mean tweaking and which hoses? Will I need to get a new charge pipe made up? Havent got the front mount fitted yet so probably going to do this all in one hit.

Does anybody know about Downpipe, any difficulties there?

reminds me of the A-Team, was half expecting the car to come out looking like a JCB with some sheet metal on the front

That guide is the nuts! Sweet cheers, I have got all those parts coming, which is good!

Custom code said £450 to remap my car to 280-290 odd brake, that seems like alot to me though if im honest 

[topher]

280 is achievable with no cat. Too lazy to read the guide but for that power you ideally want S3 injectors or bigger.

it'll be worth it tho mate and if IIRC u will be the 1st on here to do!!!

Does seem a little high - The S3 BAM's usually re-map to 265ish, but I don't know if that's with stock everything else??

Mapped S3's have a real appetite for clutches, though, so you may want to upgrade that if you haven't already?!
