K03s or k04-001
« on: 08 March 2014, 15:28 »
Hi all :-)
Could someone help me with my decision and point me in the rite direction? I read a post on Audi sport.net done by 16klappe and it was brilliant! Highly recommend to anyone thinking bout tuning there20v gti, but I still have 1 question, he explained very well about the k03s and it tuning capability and briefly spoke bout the k04-001 saying it was basically the same as k03s? But after looking at prices u can get a k04-001 for half the price would this not be worth getting or am I missing something? I currently have the k03 with a remap running bout 190bhp and been told I can't get no more power from it unles I upgrade the snail I have :-/
Cheers

With the k04 you need to change a few things. Such as the tip down pipe, oil pipe and probly the manifold aswell but not sure. Who mapped the car for you? 190 is the max from a k03 aint it?
How much do you have to spend on a new turbo?

I thought the k04-001 was a direct replacement for k03, between around the 300 mark cud stretch a bit if worth it? Car was done by amd in Essex

as said 001 is direct replacement, however iirc can only push around 15-20 bhp more over the k03s? so if you find one cheepish and in good nick, may aswell go for that, if not then stick with a k03s which is easily found IMO.
