i know you can put in S3 camshafts into a k04 converted 2.0 TFSI however can they be put into a k03 turbo'd 2.0TFSI at stage 2+level running 280bhp, add what sort of gains could you expect to gain
-
....
Personally I don't know the answer to that question but if you're running about 280 bhp on the FWD GTI, regardless of K03 or K04, then I would strongly advise that a Quaife ATB diff would be a good mod so that you can better deliver that power onto the road. Or are you simply after "gains", i.e. high numbers?
Each to their own of course, but power is useless if you can't get it down onto the road. (in my opinion)

A couple of guys over in Greece have done this but apparently the cam lift timings are different. Not sure what the long term results of this would be.
btw RR your final sentence looks very much like my sig. :smiley:

....I have noticed your sig before but didn't remember whose it was. I don't see how anyone can disagree with such a statement unless they are into serious RWD drifting as a hobby.

Couldnt agree more. I think 230 is too much power to be going through the front wheels.

....But doesn't your Ed30 have 230 neddies at the front wheels?
I've driven a number of highly modded GTI's including VWRacing/RacingLine's 330 bhp and it's easy to drive (done wet and dry) helped greatly by its mods including a Quaife ATB diff. I've got the same Quaife on my GTI (not Ed30) which usually plots around 230 bhp on Dyno-Dynamics rollers. I hardly ever see the TC light and only a very quick flicker and I'm currently down to 3 mm on my front tyres.

Technically it doesn't as the quoted 230hp is flywheel power... :smiley:

....Okay....But how many of us consider anything other than power at the flywheel? Rolling-road sessions give us flywheel plots and insurers only ask for the flywheel bhp.
I think that in all our discussions on various forums we use flywheel numbers in comparison and as the yardstick.
