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

[Ashmond]

I am doing it 100%, car may be off the road for a week or two (at work during day) but have all the tools, including a welder so dont see it being much of a problem tbh!

Seriously want to do this, need a new exhaust & a FMIC first though.

Ash, where did you get you intercooler?

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

Just to let everybody know that this has been done this weekend, engine came out, KO3s off and sold, KO4 on and engine back in and running. Tiny setbacks include a small oil leak (from sump - needs new gasket) and a water leak from water feed (needs O-ring) apart from that it works fine and just needs boost pipes made up and a remap 280bhp here I come! Il get some pics up on the project thread when its done
