if i was starting from scratch again i would go..

modded airbox > dv > remap > exhaust/cat > wheels > suspension > brakes > intercooler > then start looking at big turbo packages.

obviously any exterior/interior or ICE mods could fit in anywhere, wallet permitting :grin:

For what you can pick up ko3s now, your better off changing the turbo before you get it remapped then you can get better gains. :wink:

Still a fair bit of wedge for relatively little gain, only reason i upgraded to k03s was because my k03 got mashed. I'd rather have put the money towards a proper turbo conversion :cool:

Yeh i know what u mean, I have had mine remapped and am now getting the bits together for an ihi conversion, so means getting it remapped again another £500 :angry:

So if anyone is thinking about changing there turbo for an uprated one do it before you get it remapped. :smiley:
