Title: turbo machining company recommendations?.
Post by: jamie16v on 11 October 2011, 19:57: hi, im looking to get my k03s internals machined out to fit k04-023 internals.
i have got hold of an 023 and plan to rebuild the k03 core with k04 internals myself, just need to send it off for machining and balancing. can anyone recommend anyone and a rough price?.

Any chance once you have done this helping me out do the same?? Or even talk me through what I have to do.
I would love to achieve 250bhp, You guys think it can be done using K04 internals only and using standard MAF, injectors etc.
Im currently running 195bhp AGU supporting mods FMIC, CAI, forge recirc, Turbo back exhaust.

Front mount intercooler - got
3" downpipe - got

Then a custom Remap - getting another once set up with new components. :evil: :smug:

Post by: jamie16v on 12 October 2011, 11:05: will be using R-tech again for the mapping, dont think i want a mbc though if nick insists i will get one.. got a silicone tip too :grin:
car is off the road at the moment so will get it mot`d as it is (will put cat back on) then commence the work.

Post by: jamie1989 on 12 October 2011, 11:33: I may stick with my original idea then for now.
Stage 2 K03s, Still not bad from a 1.6 engine :evil:
I will need a silicone TIP and K03s first.
Should be able to hit the 230bhp mark with 3inch cat back exhaust, 007p, CAI and frount mount.
Im on the hunt for the both items above then a trip upto R-tech again :grin:

James16v - Would love to see yours go when its done, It will give me the kick up the arse to get mine sorted haha.
Title: Re: turbo machining company recommendations?.
Post by: jamie1989 on 12 October 2011, 11:50: My bad I meant I have 3" inch from turbo back. Not cat back.
Realistically is there anyway of pushing beyond 230bhp with these mods using a K03s and Silicone TIP using my current mods?
