http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9889&item=4541378301&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW  would this turbo make any differance on my 2001 turbo 150bhp
-
You already have that turbo on your car, so.. nope wont make a difference.
-
Am i right in thinking that it's different to the one on my 99(T) 1.8T and if so will it make any difference to mine?
-
Actually that is a k03s which is what comes on the 180bhp tt/anniversary model golf so will probably produce 20-30bhp more than the standard k03 that comes on the 150bhp 1.8t golfs with a remap.You can also fit a k04 to a 150bhp golf which can make 250bhp with a remap.I think the first thing to do if you haven't done already is too go for a remap you should get approx 200bhp and then go from there.
-
every 1.8T after AGU ('99) came with a K03s, they just changed the software and added vvt to the 180bhp models (2003-ish models)
boggle, it will show an improvement on your car but you'll need a custom remap
golf1.8t to get the kind of power advertised on ebay you just need a 4bar fpr and remap

did'nt the early 2001's have ko3 and the later 2001 have ko3s. Might be worth checking! :undecided:
-
i heard it was after 8/00 they where k03s as standard.
AUM,ARZ have k03s
AGU have k03
check under under bonnet for engine code.
-
ye mines a AUM so if i up the fpr to a 4bar 1 what does that mean i would be getting 180bhp with any remapping or do i have to do something else to basicly what do i do to get 180 with out a remap if i have that turbo already.
-
well you could spend thousands upgrading internals and porting/polishing everything.. or just go for a remap.
vw upped the boost for the 180bhp's with a slightly stronger map in the ecu. remap alone should see you with about 210bhp, with revo's 4bar specific software (remap) and a 4bar fpr you can see 235-240 depending on exhaust/cat/filter.
-
ok ive got a stright throught exhaust piper x air filter so wen i get my jabba chip and adjust boost control kit they clam from 216-230bhp if i up the fpr would i expect a bit more.
-
you'll probably find mike at jabba will put a 4bar fpr on as part of the deal to get those sorts of figures.
-
ok thanks for all your help guys.
-
My engine code is AUM and it is fitted with the ko3s at the factory. It is only a 150bhp model tho.
Then add Revo, a ram air filter and a 4 bar :wink:
Take it to the rolling road
220bhp - 247lb tourqe
Happy days all round. :evil:
A lot of people recon that it ain't worth getting a KO4 on the golf if you got a KO3's as the difference is minimal :undecided:
Oh yeah, the AUM is VVT too, even tho its only 150 as standard
-
depends if you mean a standard k04 or a hybrid k04.
-
Now everyone will be confused :laugh: :laugh:
-
k04-001 is the one that isnt much better than the k03s, but its a straight swap
k04 off S3/225TT is new plumbing/manifold time !
