K03 Hybrid
edd666999:
imo
Intercooler £500
Intake £350
Downpipe £500 (Add another £500 for the cat back)
HPFP £350 (autotech is cheapest option)
Turbo Discharge/charge pipes £250
Remap £500
£1200 gets you a very capable car with quick spool and you can have fun within the speed limit. I prefer a nippy to 60 car over a top end power car :happy2:

Then you will only be looking at approx 270Hp, and without the IC (I have done this myself and the logs to prove it) you will suffer heat soak on the stock IC. Something you might not be aware of until you log it especially on a hot day. My car was hitting 80degrees IAT at stage 2+ K03 on a hot day, iirc Mikes car on the same day, same road running an intercooler had IATs about 50degrees cooler, despite him being stage 2+ K04
That £1200 would get you an extra 30Hp and be alot kinder to the engine/turbo as well, along with plenty of change for other mods. The K03 is quicker spooling but its nbot enough that much IMO. Certianly not enough to cancel out a 20-30hp deficit.
Scottymon:
If you also factor in grabbing the intake / downpipe and HPFP second hand you can knock quite a bit more off too.. also map for £300.
Janner_Sy:
Lots of K04s on ebay for sub £500. Bit of bartering and you'll get that lower. Factor the £300 map in and thats 300 Hp for sub £800

I ran revo and had it logged and RR and was fine, not as cool as when i fitted the cooler but still ok. to me its about enjoying the drive and the k04 just doesnt feel as good as the k03 when nipping around town and to 60.
