agu and aum both have pros and cons..

AUM- has a better turbo fitted as standard that can be tuned to more than the k03.. k03 peaks at 197bhp and k03s can do 230-240bhp.. AUM has sh!te coil packs but other than that solid as a rock..

AGU- is prehistoric and so is the engineering <-- it hardly does wrong but has smaller turbo.. and sh!tty ignition amps which can fail and are expensive to replace..

I had a AUM and only got through one coil pack at £32.. stage 1 map running 221bhp and 230ft/lbs of torque  :smiley: :smiley:

was fun but juicey with my dodgey right foot..

Mine is on a late 2000 plate. Always wanted to get a bigger turbo. Is Agu good?

they are both good.. agu has a sh!t turbo fitted standard.. most people change to a k03s.. can be bought for £250

not sure on what engine you will have.. might be ARZ..

look at bottom left of the engine from the top it should be stamped.. or on sticker right handside of engine bay or spare tyre well..

From the threads on here I have mixed views but believe the AUM is the better choice.
