lol, not sure why i didnt get topic emails but thanks for the info, as far as ive looked in to it a ko3s if it hasnt got one already, go for a 3" down to 2.75" samco turbo intake pipe with forge 007p or compbrake one, then change all the water coolant hoses to samco ones along with a fmic again of course samco hoses (but depending may use another company ie:sfs etc) then consider a better rad for better engine cooling along with a oil cooler, but yer 270bhp is more then enough i have a mk3 gti and can spin in 1st and nearly 2nd. had a r5gtt running 190bhp and that was all over the place in the wet with 1st 2nd and mostly 3rd spinning if i made it, so with upwards off  270bhp would be fine. quick enough for a family car.

just trying to decide on 3dr or 5dr. 3dr looks nice and stances nice, with a decent looking front bumper and alloys, but then the 5dr would make sence as i have 2 kids, and tbf they dont look that bad. mmm dunno

so will a 2000/2001 mk4 have this aum engine? and what one has the ko3s? the 2001 had then fitted standard didnt they?

[cullygti]

i think all aum have k03s but i may be wrong

[jonrandom]

Yeah aum's have k03s 2001 onwards, 2000 are agu with a k03

[trez]

okay, i had an agu with a ko4 set up, and that was immense...

question is, I have an auq now, and its got 76k on the clock. I want to go for 280-300bhp in summer, what step do I take? I would want ko4 to be honest, but what parts do I need?

[dub-gti]

so if i went for a 1999 audi a4 quattro 1.8t, what engine does that have the agu? seller states its the 180bhp model.
that or a passat but any thing that has that 1.8t engine in it lol

Yeah get a k04' read Toby's build thread and it will say what u need.

Roughly oil/coolant lines, manifold, downpipe, injectors, 3" maf

If he states it a 180bhp then its not a agu, ask him for the engine code mate.

yer shame that one sold, he had some one coming to view before i emailed, but found this one, seems clean, years mot, altho states none, via text he says its got a years mot, but if hes go the mot im happy. what you lot think, going to stick bid in if you lot think its good

no picture of passenger side but he sent me it by phone and same as all other sides, broken clocks but has new  s/h one, and abs fault which seems to be common across these a4's
