Best bet is hold off, and buy a decent ko3s and bigger injectors, and a custom
Remap

And a fmic to get the best out of it!

Worth the money!

This.

None of those supporting mods will extend the capabilities of the turbo. Without a bigger turbo you're going to be limited.

Thanks for the help but like I said before I don't wanna be spending hundreds and hundreds and hundreds

Maybe if I could get the busted ,k03s rebuilt for cheap I'll keep it

Dont mean to hijack the thread but why do you need different injectors on a K03S, I thought standard injectors were fine with a K03S? and you only needed injectors if you were going the K04 route
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)

Injectors are the next limiting factor on the AGU, standard are good for around 225bhp

On a GOOD set of injectors you will max out at 230-235bhp.

K03s with forge actuator and good FMIC and r-tech mapping is where its at.

If you want to push it a bit further, bigger injectors and VR6 maf housing.
