Revo seem to need a 4bar fuel pressure reg for their maps, most other tuners don't. It's not a case of higher spec, it's just what they prefer and can make work

Ah I see, it's a strange requirement if it isn't necessarily required

revo will also ask for a manual boost controller to be fitted as they said I needed 1 but r-tech never  :smiley:

I was looking to go down this exact route too with my agu.

Debating between ko4 and beach buggy k03 hybrid. Cost might work out slightly less with k04.

Plus is that its cheap and easy to replace the k04 and readily available but downside is that its a used one.

what made you want to go k04 instead of hybrid?

I have the same kind of idea as you really, they're cheap to buy and replace. And with a few modifications, they can see a pretty high power too.

I wouldn't buy a used 1 when a new k04 is cheap but a bb k418 is about the same money  :evil:

Well if talking buying new k04 then ma aswel buy ko3 hybrid as thats around same price less fuss.

And if going k418t then thats even more as to use it properly it will mean forged internals and likely lsd so add around £2k+ on to build

I meant that I would buy a used k04 that's in a good condition and just hope it doesn't fail on me haha

That 1st pick was my set up but sold all turbo parts gone big turbo now and has worked out cheaper that going k04 route I purchased 1st time round. Sold all k04 bits more that I paid so was win win for me.
