Getting the most from your turbo

(1/5) > >>

Banham:
I having a dilemma as wether to go ko4 or just get the most out of my k03 gti

I already have:
Forge twintake
Blueflame tbe with 2'75 sports cat
Currently on custom map from r-tech 265bhp


Will be getting an S3 intercooler next year.

Is it worth going the whole k04 route or can you just bolt on the turbo and injectors?  :confused:
Would hpfp benefit if my car with either turbo on?
What else would help to get the most out of a ko3?

I dont want buy all these mods and for someone to say if you just bolt on a k04 you will have so much more power  :rolleye:


Any help is much appreciated  :smiley:

If your not satisfied wit the 265 you currently have from the K03, then I doubt you'll be impressed with the gains it yet has to offer... from what I've read they are pretty much all done by 280; where as the K04 is just getting started Stage 1 onwards.

I'd also consider, what it would cost you to strip back to standard and buy an Edition 30 / Pirelli, rather than K04 upgrade... worth doing the numbers. :happy2:

So by the time i add intercooler and take a trip to r-tech that will prob be about it for turbo then  :sad1:

I have thought about stripping but have added brakes,xenons,exhaust, coilovers and other bits and would be costly to swap them over. Or to even find another car with the right spec.

YOu could tae a stock GTI then install a K04 turbo, K04 Injectors and DV relocation, add a remap and basically make it work just like a Stage 1 Ed30 with 280-300Hp.  It probably would have cost less than what your current stage 2 setup has as well!!

With what you have already you basically have enough to run a stage 2 setup.  RTec would be able to write software for your current mods in tandem with the K04 with no issues.  Expect the same outputs as a stage 2 Ed30

K03 injectors will flow 300-310bhp so you could leave the stock ones in place for that level of power and save a wad of dollar  :happy2:
