low lol with a turbo like that you WILL want to put your foot down.. if i booted my old 1.8t i would see low 20's some times less so with k04 running more BHP you would see low 20's maybe 15 or so.. depends on driving style and the map mate

+1, perhaps if fuel economy is an issue for you, maybe the turbo isnt a great idea although the power is more effortless with the bigger turbo so may be more efficient during normal driving..........

thing is mate, if your that worried about mpg in 1st place, you would buy a diesel.

2nd that if u get a golf and ko4 it, obviously you will be driving it reasonably hard, otherwise its not worth the £600+ conversion?

IMO if you do spend enough to go through the ko4 conversion, bhp/torque figures will be your main priority, not mpg..

Maybe converted on a AGU or somthing my uncles BAM with k04 standard (cupra 225) is mapped to 265 and he gets 25mpg with his wife driving/school runs/ generally family car without regard to pertrol

I think it's fairly good for the power.Maybe due to the BAM being build for the k04? Dunno  :huh:
