I just had a Revo stg 1 on mine with no other mods except a carbonio cai on mine.

That's kinda the limit on the s though isn't it, 230 / 240bhp?


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

The majority of k03s remaps will never see 230, let alone 240, except for a few unusual instances.  For 230bhp you need all the other mods as mentioned earlier in the thread, unrated intercooler, forge valve, updated exhaust, silicone hoses etc etc.

Usable power is far more useful than bhp hunting.

This is true, although most golfs will be able to use all the power a ko3s can ever throw down through the wheels anyway :)

Highest figure seen from a ko3S was 264.7bhp :)
