Or 70mph in the UK Sy :wink:
Im stage 2+ K03 without the intake and a paper filter installed. Its very potent and I am still suprised as to how good the engine performs. I had thought about K04 but the id rather buy a faster car as standard than pay all the extra money for parts needed. Then Id modify that to go even faster :laugh:

I had a go in my mates standard S3 (K04) last week. Compared to my R-Tech stage 1 K03, I can honestly say mine is MUCH better to drive :laugh: the turbo spools in an instant and has fantastic low down power and silly torque, although runs out of puff at 5.5k revs. The standard K04 felt very gutless and unresponsive at low revs (although I bet the 95RON unleaded doesn't help)
No doubt a mapped K04 would be seriously quick and would be almost on par with throttle response :notworthy:
My advice would be to map your K03 and see how you feel then, it totally transforms the way it drives :driver:

I'm not surprised, the standard map on the S3 is garbage. Stage 1 they are a completely different drive.
I will be doing either a K04 or LOBA 380 conversion on our GTI next year. They need supporting mods though like decent suspension, brakes and LSD or the power will be wasted away.
