K03 to K03s
« on: 28 January 2013, 12:35 »
Getting my K03s on tomorrow, but I currently have a stage 1 carbon remap, do I need to do anything in order for it to run ok?

I cant get it mapped for at least another week, but may still need to potter around here and there in it

also from my spec, what 'should' I get from a stage 2 remap?

Not to sure with your main question however I have been researching "what to do" when it comes to stage 2 remaps.

The things I have found that should be done are as follows:
  • clutch and flywheel.
  • upgrade all pipes to silicones.
  • upgrade the DV.
  • upgrade injectors.
  • upgrade the air filter to a higher performance panel filter or induction kit.
  • advisable to upgrade the exhaust.

I'm sure there are bits I have missed. Others will add I'm sure :)

Whilst generally it's not advised to thrash it when a bigger turbo is fitted, in the case of a st1 AGU going from ko3 to ko3S I've generally found them to be fine.

Depending on how aggressive your st1 is you may find it misfires a bit under boost, so be careful if that's the case until it's mapped, but 9/10 times they run just fine with a ko3S bolted straight on.

My old 1.8t Anniversary had the ko3s as standard as was mapped to a safe 210bhp. Only downside was the wheel spin in the damp or wet. It was shocking.

Not in any way standard :) Dyno Dynamics RR - 280bhp
