In three weeks im going to have around 1,000 to spend on my 1.8t, at the moment my car is 193bhp from a stage 1 remap.
Its the ARZ engine so runs off the ko3.
I want to upgrade to the ko3s turbo to get to around 240-250bhp. I have read alot of threads about this but i just want to finalize things
before i start spending.
If i buy a ko3s will it bolt straight onto my existing manifold?
Can i run it off standard injectors?
I am going to be purchasing a front mount intercooler at the same time as the turbo. Is there anything else i need apart from a remap w
when i have installed the turbo and intercooler?
thanks

u will need oil and water lines ,manifold,k04 turbo ,modified downpipe ,tt injectors and turbo inlet pipe ,3" maf
-
what about if i go along the route of getting the ko3s turned into a hrbrid? :huh:
would anything like that then?
-
hybrid turbo ,downpipe,cat back exhaust,after market DV ,silicone TIP ,induction kit ,fmic and a custom remap will get u around 280bhp ... jus to get the k03 hybrid turbo will cost u back near 1k ! 1k to spend on to gain performance is not that much especially to get over 240bhp mark ...
-
Stick with the ko3s for the grand mate. I'd get the turbo, forge tip, fmic, and remap. I've just done this and got 220bhp with a small issue. Goes well though you will be suprised. If i decide i want more power i will invest in another ko3s to hybrid which can then be bolted straight on. 250 is a tough figure you either have to settle for less or spend a lot for not much more, or spend loads for BT and new manifold etc..

not sure what turbo he's running on but if u look at his torque output is 290lb which is quite abit more than any stage2 remap ...

how do you go to the stage 3 on a 1.8t?
-
well this is a hard question to explain cuz every company class their stage 3 differently ... for example CUSTOM CODE stage 3 is for hybrid turbo only .... and some company dont even have stage 3 they jus do a custom remap ... AMD DO a stage 3 is jus a ECU remap with the addition of a Milltek Exhaust system and Hyflow Cats - to include fitting, performance road test and full diagnostic test.

£350 for a hybrid!?
Did they give you any idea whats the gains are likely to be? Could be worth a go that :grin:

you see thats where im getting confused now, i have read loads of times that people have got there ko3s to around 240bhp
and it states it on that link,(thanks for the link patch).
So why are some people saying ill be lucky to get 220?
hmmmmmmmm :huh: :huh:

There's not many ARZ's about, mate, I don't really know that much about them. Although, the next big difference between your ARZ & the AUM apart from the turbo, is the VVT. I'm sure it will make a bit of a difference, but how much of a difference, I'm not sure.
I would think with similar mods to mine, you should be able to hit 220 at least. (Although, as well as the AUM/Q's, you do have a smaller ported head compared to the superior AGU lump! :P :D
