A good 2+ setup will be really nice to drive. I'm yet to get the map tweak (S3 cooler and intake first) but just adding the Loba pump on the current Stage 2 map made a surprising difference. Loads of torque. I'd imagine with all the bits as well as WMI you'll be laughing. The only downside to the k03 is the boost dropping off at higher revs, but even changing up at 5k I'm straight back into the torque in the next gear.
And yes, I'm taking a 'show then go' approach, not that it's slow right now. I keep thinking I want it lower, so I might be looking at coilovers soon!

oops I know what that is I didn't realise!!
I've been stuck on wanting a ko4 build with rtech stage 3 but having read this topic im being put off! But when I think of my friends stage 3 (bo05 sto) it makes me want ko4 again. He was pushing 360bhp
@r5gtt what numbers are you aiming to hit with stage 2+?

I also agree that I people dont put much consideration into the quailty of tyres. everyone seems obsessed with high BHP figures, yet wonder why they get so much wheelspin when they run plastic tyres :thinking: :thinking:

Had Eagles, switched to Michelin PS4.... Much better all round tyre, the traction is in a different league to the F1s. I'd whole heartedly recommend over the Eagle F1's, but either would be a whole lot better than plastic tyres... :signLOL: I had a set on a while back when i borrowed some wheels whilst mine were being refurbed...... 80mph traction issues on a cold damp night coupled with feeling more like you're aqua-planing than being in contact with the road was enough to put me off ever buying them.

right thanks for the info Dan, not sure what these tyres cost but will definitely give them a look as I do need new tyres since my plastic tyres are absolutely rubbish for grip as I've come to learn this year driving around in the damn and did slip out a few months back and we discussed this with a few other members :happy2: :drinking:

Hi mate, the car is coming along nicely I see! :happy2:
Bought a set of PS4's off Camskill for £89 each this week.
Today Paid £50 for fitting 2 tyres, balancing & new valves. Is this the going rate now? Feel like I've been mugged off, swear I paid £40 a few years back.
These replaced a pair of Super Sports. They were as previously mentioned in a different stratosphere to the F1s. Grip and stability a million times better and the lasted 2 years as opposed the 1 yr I got out of the F1s mate

thats what I mean when I say there's no need for K04 as I think 2+ will be more than enough as I know me and if I had the power Inder my foot :driver:
With the bits I have already and maybe a surprise you tomorrow afternoon :wink: will top the lot. Will tell more tomorrow :grin:
I won't be using that kind of power unless I get a twat like I did this eves in his black golf 5 flash me on the A13 london so I moved over thinking it was someone who knew me as he blasted past and was driving like a full on di** with no due care for other road users cutting traffic up in a dangerous manner. If I wanted when I seen him flash from a car I would have disappeared before he got anywhere near me but as I said thinking he knew me I slowed down to see why the guy flashed from 6cars back sly tactics. Only a pussaaaaay cat does that as I'd be giving me rolling start if I were that fast lol
Ps K04 sold :smiley:

hi mate cheers, can't believe I was going K04 one week and changed my mind after getting everything :slap:
that's a good price so looks like camskill are the ones :happy2:
£50 to fit two tyres like wt* that is a rip off as tyre centres usually charge £15 per rim with valves and balancing unless I'm missing something here. Birmingham only charge £7.50 per rim valve balancing. London rates are £10 to £15 for tyre fitting valve and balancing.
I had my F1 tyres on my tt for two years and still had close to 6mm when I sold the car on :thinking: but now I've had feedback on the PS4's from a good few users I think that's the way forward as it's a golf and not a Quattro tt :grin:
Thanks
