Engine wise it has a panel filter and a cat back milltek! It's on coilovers so that's the suspension kinda sorted, was goin to be goin for uprated disks and pads anyway! I just feel the ko3 doesn't have much punch to it! I had a shot of a remapped s3 and it was awesome! Boost comes in hard and doesn't die off towards the red line!!

....Whether you convert to K04 or not, you'll need a Turbo-back, not Cat-back, exhaust to deliver the potential of the remap and you'll need a remap to run a K04 on your K03 car.
Just coilovers isn't enough to sort out your suspension - It's just a good start.
Remember too that power is useless without traction and so engine mounts, diff such as Quaife or Wavetrac, are other mods you'll want.
Your goal should be a well balanced car with good driveability and reliability.

APR offers two different calibrations, one for the standard exhaust and one for a more freely flowing one. We developed the standard exhaust calibration as a business case study for VW. It is definitely possible to have a k04 with great gains and perfect drivability by changing nothing else other than the turbo, injectors and hpfp on a k03 car.
We are also pretty close in pricing if you take out the HPFP to competing with the cost of replacing a failed k03 so I hope as these cars get older and need repair, more people will see the benefit of a k04 over a k03 without having to become mod junkies. :smiley:

awesome news. Just bolting the K04 & injectors on makes more sense to me than going the full stage 2+ K03 route. More power and less cost. That will be the route i go i think when i get an Octavia again.
