I have a revo remap, makes me do the sexwee thankyouplease. Might go for the phase2 revo that's just been released to make the most of my exhaust :cool:

my 150bhp 1.8T made 208bhp with revo and milltek exhaust on the old turbo. i have the before/after charts around somewhere.
basically it was 156bhp stock, 167bhp with exhaust, 208bhp and 245lbft with exhaust and remap.

im looking at keeping the overall look standard not fancy exhausts, etc but i like the street sleeper option, 200bhp in a normal looking car

I doubt a K03 will flow enough air at high rpms to make over 200bhp, it just runs out of puff way too soon.
Have you considered a K03sport turbo?

yeah had a k03s fitted last year. all the dyno results (on my old k03) are from stealth, as we all know you cant put too much faith in the 208bhp it showed, or on any rollers really.. but either way it was a 52 bhp increase from when it went in, and made me happy in the pants :cool:

I bet it made you happy  :smiley:

Have you had your K03s mapped?
If so did you notice a big difference going from the K03?
