You do realise what car this is going in don't you?

Post by: travisreeve on 26 December 2011, 13:22: I should gain 40bhp extra maybe abit more

my qpeng gives me 200bhp in my mk1 golf with a k03.. With a k03s i should then get roughly 240bhp. I have heard these turbos can give up to 260bhp with the right set up.

Oh yeah turbos on order as of friday :evil:

If your doing this you may as well use bigger injectors and take her to the magic 300 :lipsrsealed: :laugh:
Title: Re: k03 to k03s
Post by: travisreeve on 26 December 2011, 14:01: I think with bigger injectors and the k03s i would get 260bhp asfor i dont think they push anymore than that.. Then im into k04 aha

what are good uprated injectors to buy and were from
Title: Re: k03 to k03s
Post by: Chris. on 26 December 2011, 20:10: You wont see 260bhp out of a k03s.

Post by: travisreeve on 26 December 2011, 20:50: Ahh well if i see 240bhp il be happy :grin:

Only a few ever do. I've seen people spent big money and not get much more than 230bhp.

Post by: emery1990 on 27 December 2011, 00:13: Yer christ knows where you got 260 from lol thats what k04's make realistic. If you want that from a k03 you may as hybrid it. then get s3 k04 parts for about 270bhp. saves you swapping manifolds and oil feeds around etc for the k04 turbo.
Title: Re: k03 to k03s
Post by: bobbarley on 27 December 2011, 00:44: Remember to consider the other parts you'll need to upgrade as well. Silicon pipes, TIP, Exhaust, intercooler etc.
Title: Re: k03 to k03s
Post by: travisreeve on 27 December 2011, 01:30: Ayy im just a learner.. 230bhp would put smiles on my face and asfor intercooler exhaust andd silcon pipes ect iv already got this sorted asfor i have a 20vt in my mk1 golf. This is just one big learning curve ( mechanical )

Post by: F17BAD on 27 December 2011, 14:31: you will be lucky to get to 220 BHP realistic :smiley:

Care to back up your statement?
Title: Re: k03 to k03s
Post by: dom on 27 December 2011, 16:03: Ko3s, FMIC, silicone tip, bigger downpipe & decat or sports cat should easily see 220bhp
Title: Re: k03 to k03s
Post by: Chris. on 27 December 2011, 16:17: Actuator neeed for power over 230s tbh.

Would have been nice to get it on next doors dyno to see accuracy of results.

Title: Re: k03 to k03s
Post by: Wazzzer on 28 December 2011, 12:49: I know that, but based on what?

If you want to start doubting people with their results at least man up and say why, not just reply with :lipsrsealed:
Title: Re: k03 to k03s
Post by: tech1889 on 28 December 2011, 13:19: its the same old story.. people thinking they are the be all and end all of car tuning and doubting other people its getting very annoying.. tuners are developing maps weekly to get more potential out of turbos that people once thought were limited to 200bhp.. I think its a case of unless carbon chiptuning have done it its not possible
