o.k guys, this question has probably been asked 100 times before but i supposed it differs for everyone.
i am running k03 AGU, stage 1 map, forge 007p, pipercross panel filter with modded airbox and intake, fmic, decat and 2.5" catback. engine is in healthy condition and well serviced.
whats sort of figures should i be expecting?.
-
Prob 195bhp max as the turbo can't do a lot more
-
i was told 195 when it was first remapped with now mods... and i think its improved alot since. but there you go..lol :grin:
-
probs 200ish tops.. with k03s you will be much better..
-
i want a bigger turbo :sad:
-
there was a newly reconned k03s in classifieds last week for £250 was a bargain
-
yeah, seen that. havent got the funds at the moment.. time to start saving... :grin:
-
The responsiveness and midrange may have improved between 2-5000 rpm but the peak power will be the same. Skip a ko3s and go for a ko4-001. Their immense in the midrange :grin:
-
well thatis the next most worth while mod mate.. then you can get RTech stage 2 and have lots of power lol.. my car is 221 in stage 1 AUM.. wth air filter.. 007p.. cat back.. catch can. not bad ay ??
-
not bad for a stage 1 at all...
-

wouldnt mind the k04-001 but dont want to go through upgrading other parts..
only looking for two more mods before i call it a day... i.e turbo and map to suit :wink:
-
thats good idea mate.. mines staying as it is now i think its more than enough..
-
what was your engine to start with then tech i take it it was 180 bhp to get them figures :wink:
-
A 150bhp AUM or AGU will make around those figures with a ko3s. I think the 180bhp AUQ just had a more aggressive standard map
-
cant wait to get mine done come on the new year :tongue:
-
mine was a 150bhp AUM... has cat back.. 007p.. CAI.. for them figures :smiley:
-
great stuff fella thats awesome figures bet your well happy with that :wink:
-
would be if it hadnt f**ked a coil pack 4 days ago.. havent drove it all week..
-
aint drove mine either fella friggin snow :evil:
-
I should have stopped at that figure as to get the rest I needed the 3" DP with sports cat, forge FMIC, Forge actuator and shares in shell
-
lool yer its not worth it in my eyes bud.. shares in shell bit was funny lol
-
:grin: think we should all get together and buy shares in sheel vwfiend
-
tesco momentum FTW !!!!
-
where ever is cheaper me..... usually morrisons lol :grin:
-
I like both. We need shares in tech first it would seem! He prints money by the looks of things. :laugh:
-
yeah heard hes got one of them special trees :laugh:
-
lool just have friends that change cars like the weather so i get them at good prices except the mk4 which i paid 5k for lool
-
5K! Has the previous owner stopped ROFL-ing? That's a lot of gold! I'm not gonna say how much mine was but there wasn't a 2,3,4 or 5 in the figure.... :grin:
-
paid 2k for mine year and half ago and spent about that on it :cry: really wanted a cupra 225 :angry:
-
it was worth it in my eyes.. and i was going to sell last month and had a 4k offer for it.. so not that over priced lol and that offer was before cat back and remap..
-
wish id sold mine but love it now really got the bug :laugh:
-
vwfiend what power you got now with ur mods
-
265 or 275bhp he said..
-
Lol, if only! 236 bhp at the fly and 270ftlbs
-
still good figures...
-
very good cant wait to get mine sorted guys
:smiley:
-
get it sorted and post the figures..
-
You've gotta remember that a good midrange is better than a pub talkin peak figure. It only hits the willy waving numbers for a second!
-
willy waving numbers lool
-
will do fella may take sum wheel nuts off to and a wheel or 2 just to get the figures up lol :grin:
-
Some people think that the front ARB and crash bars are unecessary parts too so whip them off to shed some weight. Seatbelts and rear brakes are also over-rated...
-
:grin: just cut the top off and the bumpers saves loads of weight fella oh and fit a jap turbo fookin neown fast as fook lol
-
so a k04-001 is the one to go for?.. are they like rocking horse poo?..
-
Backdraft motorsport sell them I think :smiley:
-
personally id look at the hybrid route, k04 internals in a k03 housing, lots of boost with no big turbo lag, and no worrys about the downpipe, ring around for quotes but i reckon about 3-400. then just bigger injectors and a map to suit
-
Isn't a ko4-001 a ko3s housing with ko4 internals!? Rtec said that some of the hybrids they had had in couldn't make the figures that the manufacturers intended and went bang....,
-
No a k04 is just a bigger turbo.. They had problem with crturbo's which has now been sorted I wOuld go k03s hybrid get it done proper and they good for 270bhp +
-
to be honest, im not looking to by a brand new turbo, dont fancy spending £500 plus. i have considered sticking with a k03s as long as it can be confirmed that it will kick much more than my current set up.
-
All you need is k03s will be loads more power
-
Im very similar setup to you Jamie16v and going to stage 2 with KO3s as soon as ive put catch can on and sorted out actuator for new turbo.
I dont want to spend mega money either and will (hopefully) be happy with it at 230ish and call that enough.
Mine was 190 or something after remap (stage 1), then did 007p, CAI, FMIC, Lightened ABF flywheel with VR6 clutch.
After putting catch can in for removing all chance of a leak, and fitting forge actuator to ko3s for peice of mind, i will be driving up there to have it done, very early next year.
Paid 170/180 delivered for my turbo from ebay, off aparently a low milage audi TT, will never know, but Waz on here has confirmed that the turbo is a good one.
-
cool, i think 180 is a fair price to pay for a turbo.. i`ll start saving my pennies and get hold of one and then make my way up to R-tech for a stage 2. :evil:
