I'd seriously reconsider not doing maf, injectors and fmic, I bet you'll end up doing them eventually then you'll need it mapped again :wink:

If yours is a AGU you'll need bigger MAF and injectors as IIRC 230bhp is the limit possibably fuel pump as well

Yeah but the chinese ones r different. This onea part number matches up as a k03s. Iv got a pic if that helps?

And 230bhp is ample mate

got a few pics of the turbo?
my turbo is a chinese "knock off" but it`s working ok, its not the 10 blade one though. it appears to have a k04-023 turbine wheel and i beleive the turbine is k04 too judging by the size.
it would be interesting to see what your turbo does actually do. where did you get it by the way?

regardless, it`s not getting any airflow being a sidemount.. that`s why we specify a front mount!
