AGU = K03 turbo less power then the others, Large port head, Cabe throttle (Heal toe  :smug:) Solid coilpacks, no map sensor, Basic ECU.

AUM/AUQ = K03s more power out of the box and after a re map, VVT, weak coilpacks, weak MAFs, secondry airpump  :lipsrsealed: fault code 17705.

AUM/AUQ are the ones to get for easy power  :wink:

Can't judge a full code on engines on 1 that was bad, yours may have been neglected, not serviced properly.
