K03 turbo bhp
« on: 25 March 2009, 16:08 »
Just wondering what bhp people are squeezing out out their K03's? What seems to be the max potential?

About the same with me.  Had 260 last RR day, and since fitted a Dbalis intake and APR HPFP with software to suit.

APR software, APR RSC turbo back exhaust, APR HPFP, Dbilas flowmaster intake, KW V3's

I suspect that unless you are now using stage 2 software to compliment your tbe, your bhp expectations may fall a little short.

depends on which rollers you use and to what result your pull. 250 on some rollers, others will show towarss 270. Lottery tbh.
You shouldnt chase big figures tbh. Driveability is the key   :smiley:

On a RR i use in Ireland that gives consistant figures as JKM rollers with just a remapp (aggressive one) i reached 236bhp. I then added an EVOM's intake, a full Miltek TBE, autotech fuel pump and Forge twintercooler and got the map tweaked so my average power on the same rollers is now 285bhp. The ko3 ain't a bad turbo.
