k03s spool up
« on: 12 April 2012, 09:15 »
On my agu 1.8t k03s is there anything i can do to make it spool up quicker? I have custom map, fmic, uprated boost hoses, tip etc.

An exhaust decat will make a big difference. Mine started kicking in a few hundred rpm earlier when I fitted it. I want to say 500rpm but it was a while ago and don't want to mislead.

May possibly have one for sale.

the ko3 is a pretty quick spooling turbo due to its size.

You could always port the manifold  :cool:
Get it nice and smooth and the exhaust gasses will flow quicker

When is it fully on boost?  Mine was about 2750-2800rpm on peak boost.
