Title: K04 CONVERSION
Post by: Boothy* on 12 February 2012, 18:51
Hi all im new to the forum so ill start by saying hi to everyone.

Well im planning on a k04 conversion on my 1.8t with engine code AGU, I have the ME3 ecu so its a pain in the arse lol. here is my list that ive put together:

K04 turbo

Xs power exhaust manifold

VR6 Golf MAF

Saab Redtop injectors

3 inch straight through exhaust

3 inch downpipe

Large core intercooler with 3inch pipes all round

Badger 5 tip

Vr6 2.9 throttle body

LCR fuel pump


Now these are the injectors ive purchased are these the right one's i need?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...246065&afsrc=1

the part number for these is 0280 150 431

Is this the right setup for aprox 290bhp?

Nick at R-TECH will be doing the mapping hopfuly

Hi i want to keep it as simple as possible so ill be using the tt/s3/lcr turbo which i think is k04-023 (i think)

I would say 280 would be doable on that setup  :smiley:

Maybe add a water/meth injection kit as well?

If u want to keep it simple go for k04-001 and use existing oil /water lines

Here is a k04 conversion done on a audi a3. Might give you a idea of pipe work route as its the same setup

Hi isn't the k04-001 a k03s turbo? Sorry i forgot on my previous post above i was thinking of somthing else. But yeh that would be the easiest route but im wanting as many horses i can get for my money lol

Yes K04-001 is basically a K03s with different compressor, only really capable of 260 I think

Here you go mate. Can you get me the part number for the injectors you have? The reason im asking is ive been told there are 2 different kind of saab red top's. 1 at 346cc and another at 359cc. Cheers mate.

Build thread for that intercooler setup is here mate
