WHAT BIGGER TURBOS WILL FIT MY 1.8t?

[Poached]

RTECH have Revo for those that want a Revo map specifically and it also allows them to provide remaps for engines they haven't developed in house maps for yet like the 2.0L TSI in the MK6.

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.

I run a ko4 on a revo stage 2 map! So booooom

couple of hours down there same back then a week or so later go back an collect car simples

Simples! Be quite interesting to see what similar specs are getting out of the r-tech setups. When you get your car back if you remember ha can you pm me your dyno results? And a rough spec?

Are you getting train back or a lift?

Did you have to book wellll in advance? Was it a price or an estimate and do you know exactly what your going for or are you giving it to them and they will setup what you have to its best output?

Many others you know gone down?
