I have a k04 on BWA at the moment which isn’t mapped yet. I was of the impression that approaching 400 ftlb is rod bending territory as well. Don’t think I’ll get close to that though off minimum 2+ hardware (k04 injectors, rs4 valve, intake, 3” decat, VIS hpfp). Would you need RFD and maybe water/meth and maybe a few other bits to get close to 400ftlb? Definitely need them to get close to 400bhp.

Try to keep it below. maybe 380tq. or less. either way the engine could go pop at standard buts less likely if you reduce the torque to be on the safe side. ahve you fitted your injectors already? Ive been told to fit injectors when you about to go for the mapping session as the fueling will be all over the place. have you logged your fuelling?
I wouldnt bother with a rfd unless (like mine) Your rf sensors are gone. water meth is a decent access if you want to push the boundaries. not essential though if he run super fuel and a decent cool. but im running it.

Cheers mate. I've been reading up on k04 conversions, k03 hybrids etc for a while. And it'll be a while before I go down that route, if at all.
It's a funny one. Some days the car feels rapid, others it makes me want an extra 50lb/ft at high revs. Maybe depends what road I'm on, or the mood I'm in, but I seem to change my mind about it a lot.
As for BWA internals, I get the impression if torque is capped to say 350/360lb/ft there shouldn't be too much of an issue. And a sympathetic map is half the problem solved.
400lb/ft is k04 hybrid territory, or at least water-meth etc like you mentioned. It's not something I'll be trying with a BWA!

I know the feeling pal. I was convinced my car was mapped by the previous own by how quick it would pick up. I checked the boost and it was standard 10psi. but I feel the mods ive added to it has made a difference. Can only imagine how it will feel once mapped.
Alot of it comes down to how you drive. I.E keeping the speed up and carrying the speed through the corners....at 30mph of course...

It'll shift once you get it mapped. Are you still on the standard IC then? I'll probably pick up an alloy S3 one at some point - it should do a job for a k04 at 1.3-1.4 bar. Definitely enough for the k03 if it stays that way. Interestingly, last time I spoke to Steve at Statller he said a standard GTI IC would be fine for a k04. Maybe it would running a little less boost than a full-fat k04 setup.
While the temptation is there right now to go full steam ahead on a k04, I don't want to fall into the trap of neglecting the basics. Now it's sat how I like, and drives how I like, I'll clear the list of any little bits of maintenence, tart it up a bit, and enjoy it.
Paradox1:
definitely enjoy it how it is before you start buying more stuff. Thats what im doing but doing little bit at the same time.
I got full stage 2 mods. I have a wellycooler fitted to it.
I could go for a map tomorrow to be fair, but I think i'll eventually start kicking myself thinking I should have just went k04/hybrid and call it a day
