I think Revo now do a map specifically for people who have upgraded to a KO 4 also you could get close to 350 with the KO 4   :smiley: you would also need the fuel pump and possibly the intercooler and intake + the obligatory turbo back zorst.

Make sure you have lots of money and that you own the car outright (not on finance or anything like that).

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Do you mean you are upgrading to a K04 on a K03 platform or have you just bought an ED30?

Revo Stage one around 280 not over 300. Stage 1 map will give gains of around 40bhp but add aftermarket exhaust, add another 10%
Depending on which rollers you run it on of course  :wink:
SteveS's other quotes on other stages are about correct. are on average correct.Stage 2+ will get 325-335 approx.
If your looking for 360bhp,Stage 3, look at JonnyC's build thread and start thinking of buying a winning lotto ticket to get the figure you crave. :happy2:

upgrading from KO3 to K04  :smiley:

I think you should be careful and not be too power hungry as the cylinder rods may not be able to cope and bend>mucho dinero to fix.

the rods on an ed30 are uprated when compared with the standard gti engine so it can cope with the higher hp/torque.
Without traction power is nothing!

Excellent  :happy2:

I am planning on dong exactly the same on my A3  :smiley:

Have you purchased a specific kit like APR's?  I'll be very interested to hear how you get on so keep us updated.

Realistically I think the maximum you will see is about 310 BHP.  I don't think you will be able to get into the 330+ numbers that the regular ED30 boys are seeing.  I think the main reason for this is the different CAMs which the ED30 has.  However you could always upgrade the CAMs too  :grin:

yea my quotes were on an ed30, considering you have a ko4... all ed30s are coming around 300 plus a few..?

Revo has a TT with this mod and is highly tuned as well. It also gets hammered on a regular basis and has not missed a beat by all accounts.  :smiley:
