A k04-02? can flow enough for 300bhp, it does need ALL the supporting mods to allow it to breathe effectively and not become a heat pump with egt's through the roof. The o.e manifold has long been the bottleneck in the ko4-02x turbo, the introduction of an affordable well designed tubular manifold(although it's a p.i.t.a to fit) coupled with the superb 80mm badger 5 tip will see these results replicated again I'm sure. The last 6 months have seen a major jump in unleashing the potential of the k04! It's also worth remembering Toby has the agu engine with the large port cylinder head along with a slightly higher than amk/bam compression ratio! This all helps!
If Toby's happy to I will get his car on the dyno Saturday to see what's what. I'm 100% confident it will make a repeatable 295-305bhp.
So you are saying, i put this manifold on my K04 car with a badger 5 tip and ill be at 300 bhp
where a well mapped K04 car will usually make in the region of 255 - 260 bhp, thats 40 + more ponies just from these mods
just all seems like a sales pitch for me, Badger 5 tip and manifold.. id like to see these cars on carbons rollers.. before i decide what route to take next with my car
No that's sadly not the case. Presumably you have a amk/bam//apy/apx engine code. This means you are small port with 9-1 compression ratio. Fitting the xs-power mani and b5 tip to yours would 'probably' produce circa 285bhp but that's speculative at best.
It's not a sales pitch at all, I don't sell either of these products but in my repeated hands on experience it's
a worthy mod. If you get over to Audi sport net there's lots of data and dyno reports on both the xs mani and b5 tip. Iirc the manifold made a 30ish bhp difference over stock, that was a back to back test (this was a hybrid ko4 so naturally it will magnify the o.e manifolds poor flow, but still impressive.) Mad really.
