^^ What he said, just get it fitted and then get a custom map somewhere, they will take all the mods into account
Will always love my mk4 but she had to go...225 Quattro TT in its place....but its still black (she lives on in spirit!)

Yea that's the plan but I  just wanted to know what turbo I had as there are 3 from apr it could be upto 300 bhp/360 and around 400 so a lot of difference. Thanks for the quick reply tho

You need to know what they have changed from standard to determine what it is capable of, as you dont know that, as the others have said get it fitted and then when its dyno'd they will tell you what they can get out of it.

Also bear in mind that you need a lot of supporting mods to get the most out of the turbo in the first place
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 :)

All he wants to know is what the turbo actually is and what it is capable of
Just like having a k03 which is capable of 210bhp max and havig a gt28rs capable of 360+
Apr have different sized turbos with different flow capabilities
So it's no good him doing mods suitable or 300bhp if his turbo is rated for 400.... Or opposite (eg size of maf etc)

All I could think of doing is going on google or looking at pictures and find what it's marked up as


R-tech custom remap - k04-001- 250bhp/311ftlb  :grin:

"Project track car" has begun :grin:

Thanks. I have tried google and can't find the tag number and have looked at the apr site at all the pictures and they use the same few pictures so still can't be sure.   :sad:
