1999 - 2001 it's likely to be a k03 turbo.  2001 onwards it's likely to be the k03s.  Highly unlikely you're running a k04.  If you were you wouldn't be complaining about not having enough power.

Btw, Revo maps are absolute turd.  Get a proper one, then decide if it's good or not.

Never once complained about not having enough power thanks.

And okay I didn't ask that did i? No. No need to be such a knob about it, I was purely asking a question and was hoping for some reasonable replies as I do not know too much about it.

Now now, no need to be abusive.

You posted a question without giving any of the information required for anyone to give you an informative answer.

Nige was correctly pointing out (based on your replies of: "Standard turbo" and "I believe ko4") that if your turbo is standard it will be a KO3 or KO3s NOT a KO4.

You've said you want a bigger turbo, i.e. you're not happy with your current setup, most people would be happy with a KO4 which is what Nige also suggested. To run a KO4 on a MK4 it would need custom mapping, not a generic REVO map, again something Nige said.

I'd say that is a reasonable reply. :rolleyes:

rtech are revo arent they?  :undecided:

Is this sarcasm??  :shocked:

Not with the confused emoticon it isn't lol

sorry i think i missed out a bit of that sentence i originally posted, i know they do custom mapping but theyre also a certified revo outlet right?

im not sure if they really need the work from revo tbh mate, nick is well capable of writing his own maps and in my opinion better. you could be right though and perheps he deals with them i`m not sure..
i just can`t see the likelyhood of it.
