mk3 20v more power please

[dub_man_cabbie]

hi guys ive finally finished my mk3 conversion, thanks for all help from you lot. saved me hours of head scratching.
anyway its a agu lump, ko3, 150bhp on a standard setup other than a front mount intercooler forge 007p and 2.5 custom decat downpipe, im wanting to get it remapped but my overall goal is about 250bhp ish so im asking for your advice on which turbo will suit best, and any other mods im gona need to achive this figure. also im a little green on the remap side of things read about stage 1 and 2? but do i have to have 1 before 2 or can i get all the parts needed and do it all at once? thanks again,

You want to talk to Mr Kells..(F17BAD) or BenVictors on here...they have the force when it comes to the 20vT mk3 conversion.

In terms of mapping I'd wait until you've got everything together and do it in one go.

A Ko3s turbo with the right supporting mods would see ~235bhp, to see 250bhp you'd need a KO4 or even a hybrid turbo.

As well as the turbo you'll need:

- Manifold/custom downpipe (If fitting KO4)
- Silicone TIP
- Silicone Boost Hoses
- VR6 MAF
- Bigger Injectors
- Upgraded Fuel Pump
- CAI
- Custom Mapping

I'm sure I'll have missed something but that's a good start.

thanks guys, so it looks to me that 235bhp is a lot easier to achive than 250! and for the extra money to gain that 15bhp extra it doesnt seem worth while at the mo,
so im looking at

-ko3s
-forge TIP
-bigger injectors
-3" MAF
-bigger fuel pump

am i write in thinking i can get all of these from an s3?
also if i was running this setup with a quality map would i be stretching the boundaries of the ko3s? i mean would it be on its limits and be likely to go pop

[dub_man_cabbie]

any idea on which injectors ill be needing and what fuel pump will do the job if i cant get my paws on an s3 type affair?
cheers

For 235bhp you won't need injectors, MAF or fuel pump.

KO3s, TIP, turbo back exhaust, 007p & FMIC are all you need

Vr6 MAF housing, Calibra yellow injectors, BAM/Walbro fuel pump.

Make sure your intercooler pipe work is 2.5" minimum.

He has a agu so you are best off doing what wazzzer had just said.
The k03s is capable of makin 262+ bhp (it's has been done) its just you have do do everything properly (no bodging, Cuttin corners or doing stuff cheap.

You will want
fmic with 2.5" pipe work
Big tip
Pump
Injectors
Silicone pipe work
Catch can and pcv delete
3" downpipe and 2.5"+ exhaust
You already have a large port head and mani which is good!
A healthy turbo
Personally I would get rods to be safe but they arnt needed (not actually that expensive and around £350
Water/meth injection
Uprated clutch
Decent induction kit with heat shield and cold air feed or a smooth airbox with panel filter and cold air feed
Also you will need to port the manifold

That's all I can think at the min (may have missed somethin) but that should see around 250bhp
