You already have that turbo on your car, so.. nope wont make a difference.

Am i right in thinking that it's different to the one on my 99(T) 1.8T and if so will it make any difference to mine?

Actually that is a k03s which is what comes on the 180bhp tt/anniversary model golf so will probably produce 20-30bhp more than the standard k03 that comes on the 150bhp 1.8t golfs with a remap.You can also fit a k04 to a 150bhp golf which can make 250bhp with a remap.I think the first thing to do if you haven't done already is too go for a remap you should get approx 200bhp and then go from there.

every 1.8T after AGU ('99) came with a K03s, they just changed the software and added vvt to the 180bhp models (2003-ish models)

boggle, it will show an improvement on your car but you'll need a custom remap

golf1.8t to get the kind of power advertised on ebay you just need a 4bar fpr and remap

did'nt the early 2001's have ko3 and the later 2001 have ko3s.  Might be worth checking!

i heard it was after 8/00 they where k03s as standard.
AUM,ARZ have k03s
AGU have k03
check under under bonnet for engine code.

ye mines a AUM so if i up the fpr to a 4bar 1 what does that mean i would be getting 180bhp with any remapping or do i have to do something else to basicly what do i do to get 180 with out a remap if i have that turbo already.

[topher]

well you could spend thousands upgrading internals and porting/polishing everything.. or just go for a remap.

vw upped the boost for the 180bhp's with a slightly stronger map in the ecu. remap alone should see you with about 210bhp, with revo's 4bar specific software (remap)  and a 4bar fpr you can see 235-240 depending on exhaust/cat/filter.

ok ive got a stright throught exhaust piper x air filter so wen i get my jabba chip and adjust boost control kit they clam from 216-230bhp if i up the fpr would i expect a bit more.
