agu k03s more power
« on: 10 June 2012, 02:19 »
My agu k03s on a custom map runs 241bhp and 246 lbft torque but I've heard that i can get abit more by getting yellow calibre injectors or saab red injectors, vr6 maf housing 2.75" and using my 1.8t sensor? 255 fuel pump, forge actuator with a yellow spring and get the map tweaked is this true? is it worth it and will i get any more gains? (im after bit more torque really)

I have seen people with a bit more low down torque around 270ftlb but it also varies from engine to engine, buyin all them parts is a lot of money and I your unlucky you may only a extra 10-20 ftlb of torque ....

I would fit the injectors/pump/MAF for safetys sake. Who mapped it mate?

Sort just noticed you put agu k03s :grin:
My mistake, you probably will need maf and injectors, fuel pump will depend how good your is

Woody from east coast tuning, where can i get the injectors/pump and maf housing? if i change the maf housing will i have the change the silcone TIP or will i be able to squeeze mine on? and what about that actuator as im running a standard one?

Cant see that running 241bhp without injectors, bigger MAF and fuel pump.

OEM MAF is out of scale at 233bhp ish.

depends on mileage with actuator, I changed mine as it was a little bit bent  :lipsrsealed:

They're all old now and running higher boost shortens the life a bit too

Yes you'll need map tweaks so the parts will need fitting at your tuners, not before you get there
