Rock monkey what tip did you use for the k300?

I bought my tip from beachbuggy turbo.
Very pleased with the fitment and ease of install, but I'm glad I don't have any emissions to plumb in or heater matrix pipes to contend with.

Cheers for that! Also read that the k300 is an engine out job. Surely not? Presume it can be fitted on jacks?

250bhp, hence the name.

K280 = 280bhp

K300 = 300bhp (easily)

It might be tested to that but it's not mapped to that for obvious reasons. R-tech and badger5 agree that on the k300 for example should be mapped to boost ~1 bar and it more often than not makes the power unless the vehicle is in need of more mods or troubleshooting. They will not increase the boost above the 1 bar without Egt sensor to go on.

I managed to fit my k300 on the drive, didn't have to take my engine out...
