ok so i have a (agu) 20vt already but im thinking about putting a BAM engine code in it so i can hit the 300bhp mark easier, anyone think its worth it or are there simpler mods i can make to get around the same sort of power?

Just posted on your other thread in the garage section.
Although you could use the AGU engine and fit a big blower to it. That definitely another option.

is it simple to change my k03 to a k04?

There's been a lot of talk of this recently. A KO4-001 which comes in at about £600 is a K04 in a KO3s housing so will bolt straight on. But you'll need a map. And won't see 300BHP.

you wont get to 300 any easier with that block, you'd still need to change the turbo.. so you might aswell just do it on the AGU lump.

i'd be happy with 250bhp, 300 is just a target. so this k04-001 it will bolt onto my k03 manifold or is the k03s manifold different?

so u think i should get a bigger turbo? are there any turbos u would recomend?

It's the only way to hit 300BHP with an AGU lump. Budget for brakes as well.

ye deffo bigger brakes. i just found this k04-001 turbo brand new for £259.50 :grin:

If it's on ebay dont buy it.

brakes, suspension, engine mounts, intercooler, uprated boost hoses, decent filter and obviously uprated dv.
My choice would be a gt28rs, a comfortable 300 with room for more if you ever go as far as upgrading the engine internals. IHI turbos are also a popular choice.. probably because you can pick them up for peanuts from subaru owners who are upgrading to a td06 or something.

no not ebay

at that price, that turbo will be a chinese copy and not a genuine borg warner KKK unit. Naughty really because the one in the pictures IS a genuine one, with the part# tag on it.. the one they send you won't be like that, the numbers will be stamped onto the turbo housing.
-
Only way to find out is maybe give them a call, but like topher says its more likely to be a copy. Audi forums are a good place to find K04-001's as they were fitted to mk1 Audi TT's
