Title: k04-001 on k03 map.
Post by: km on 16 October 2012, 10:38: I had my AGU mapped by r tech when it was completely standard.

since then I have added, full milltek + decat, ths fmic, 007p and panel filter.

i've had my k04-001 sat for a while, and have decided to get it fitted with a forge actuator and silicone tip.

now for the questions..

i also need saab red injectors, lcr fuel pump, vr6 maf housing and top half of airbox to suit. would i be right in saying the fuel pump can be fitted before map, but the rest will be left with r tech?

when the k04-001 is fitted, how will it drive with a k03 map? am i able to drive it with the n75 plugged in, just not be heavy footed until the car is mapped? thanks!

Post by: golfyste on 16 October 2012, 17:54: Unplug the n75!
And be careful with the right foot! Leaving it plugged in could cause boost spikes and possibly blow the engine!

As sai by others got the pump and leave te res to r-tech :cool:

Post by: golfyste on 16 October 2012, 22:58: I'm not to sure
Always been told to just keep the one it should have!

Post by: Prawny on 17 October 2012, 16:33: car will drive OK, but will be spikey and unsafe if you leave the N75 plugged in.

Unplug the N75 and you can drive it as hard as you like before it's mapped, it'll never trouble it.

Post by: km on 17 October 2012, 21:39: thanks for all the info. just need to save £390 for the remap now :sad:

will get the turbo fitted just before the date of remap hopefully.

i've driven with n75 disconnected before, i think i can run quicker :grin:

Post by: Prawny on 18 October 2012, 08:11: Depending on your actuator setup, N75 unplugged will give you around 6psi of boost and 150bhp, very much like stock.

I used to unplug the N75 on my daily during the week and drive around with 150bhp saving money, then plug it back in on a Friday night and enjoy another 80bhp for the weekend!

Post by: km on 18 October 2012, 11:02: is there a possible chance that unplugging it will throw it into limp mode?

i guess that would make your car seem faster than what it is :grin:

Post by: Prawny on 18 October 2012, 11:59: No, it won't go into limp mode when you unplug the N75, but it will throw an ''n75 circuit open'' fault code, which doesn't cause any harm.

I run a switch on my N75 so I can switch between low (274bhp) and high (300bhp) boost whilst driving around. Works brilliantly.
