Post by: GTIcheeseman on 26 June 2012, 21:46

Nah, you will be fine without a map.  ECU will make the differences in airflow.

Similar question.. my car has already been mapped just with the standard K03 turbo.. If i was to swap for a K03s would the car run the same with just a lower boost? as itl handle the airflow better? or would it need mapped again for the changes?  :angry:

You need to map it really to the extra 30bhp or so the k03s will give you.
