1.8t running a ko4 turbo

[gmicallef]

Hi all

Quick post......... anyone tell me what sort of power i will be looking at with running a ko4-001 turbo? iv just purchased one and going to fit it this weekend,
                         I know it will need a decent map for it to get the full potential out of it,  ( going awesome gti for that )
1.8t
forge 007p recirc
ko4 turbo
remap?

what bhp am i looking at?
already running 210bhp out of a ko3 turbo so expecting a bit more..............

intercooler?
bigger injectors?
bigger maf?



go to r tech for mapping.

210 outa a ko3??  you sure?

You need a full turbo back exhaust for the best gains too.

210 from ko3 is optimistic as they usually 185 -200 tops

you had it on rollers to prove with a print out

You wont be getting 210bhp out of a k03, 200 bhp max and that would be with all the supporting mods.

With what supporting mods you have a the k04-001 I reckon you will get around 230bhp.

To get the most out of it you need to get a full turbo back exhaust, TIP, larger maf, injectors and maybe fuel pump then you would be seeing around the 245bhp mark.

yeh mate iv got the print out 208 it is,

iv got a janspeed catback,
defo need bigger injectors,
what sort of intercooler is best? heard loads of good things about the THS or what ever its called.

what bhp would i be looking at the ko4 remap fuill exhaust de-cat? 240? maybe more?

[cullygti]

if it is running that from ko3 that is very good

[jonrandom]

Yeah THS is the one to go for

[gmicallef]

yeh mate iv got the print out, i thought it was only capable to 200bhp, i was actually going to take it back and see for myself, as i know some rollers to be abit wrong lol,

but what i have is....
catback janspeed exhaust, ( decat next )
forge 007p recirc valve
