turbo machining company recommendations?.
« on: 11 October 2011, 19:57 »
hi, im looking to get my k03s internals machined out to fit k04-023 internals.
i have got hold of an 023 and plan to rebuild the k03 core with k04 internals myself, just need to send it off for machining and balancing. can anyone recommend anyone and a rough price?.

I've just done the same, my lOcal machine shop charged me £120 to do the work to the k03s to get the k04 internals to fit.

Jamie16v - Hey buddy I live near you, Im from Aberdare.

Any chance once you have done this helping me out do the same?? Or even talk me through what I have to do.
I would love to achieve 250bhp, You guys think it can be done using K04 internals only and using standard MAF, injectors etc.
Im currently running 195bhp AGU supporting mods FMIC, CAI, forge recirc, Turbo back exhaust.
1.6-1.8t AGU K03s, Forge actuator, Forge 007p, turbo back exhuast, Ths front mount, Catch can, 5 piece silicone boost pipes and creation sports tip. Stage 2 atm 232bhp 270lbs. Waiting for custom mapping :-)

Would need mapping to suit...

Custom stage 2 - got with current setup

A service -as always

Bigger/hybrid turbo - doing
Injectors - getting
Maf - got
Fuel pump - getting (walbro in-tank)
Front mount intercooler - got
3" downpipe - got
Sports cat/decat got
Cat back - got

panel filter/induction kit - got
forge 007p - got
Then a custom Remap - getting another once set up with new components.  :evil: :smug:

will be using R-tech again for the mapping, dont think i want a mbc though if nick insists i will get one.. got a silicone tip too  :grin:
car is off the road at the moment so will get it mot`d as it is (will put cat back on) then commence the work.

I may stick with my original idea then for now.
Stage 2 K03s, Still not bad from a 1.6 engine  :evil:
I will need a silicone TIP and K03s first.
Should be able to hit the 230bhp mark with 3inch cat back exhaust, 007p, CAI and frount mount.
Im on the hunt for the both items above then a trip upto R-tech again  :grin:

James16v - Would love to see yours go when its done, It will give me the kick up the arse to get mine sorted haha.
