How's it going everyone,upgraded my agu mk 4 from ko3 to ko3s today not remapped yet so taking it ham n cheesy,I've been getting a bit of flutter when I lift off and I'm a little worried I might damage my turbo,I'm still on standard dv.just wondering has anyone any experience with this after the upgrade? Just to mention my DV was working fine before the swap.
Any info would be greatly appreciated,thanks

Don't worry about it, my turbo blew 3 years ago, swapped it for a ko3s, (never knew there was a difference in the 2 turbos ko3 & ko3s) mines was running at standard power (150bhp) not remapped for 2 years 8 months, no problems only recently had it mapped... Wow the power is spot on! So much more pull. before mine was mapped I had turbo flutter on lift off, now it's mapped it's gone away, the person who mapped it for me said it's because it's low psi or something and now it's mapped it's running the right pressures :)
My car is a 2000 reg AGU engine :)

Swap the DV out for a Forge 007/008p

Rhyso i was planning on going with the forge dv,is it really worth that kind of money though?
Was thinking of just running a 710n !
What you think? Would it be sufficient or do I just go forge?

Sorry i forgot VW had pulled their finger out and revised the standard DV
Go for the standard valve. It means less money for Forge although they could do with it to improve their other products :lipsrsealed: :whistle:

Thanks for the input mate,I'll pick up the standard dv today and fingers crossed i have the cash for a map the weekend.
