Getting the most from your turbo
Syrag64:
I had a std K03 (but with all the upgraded intercooler/hpfp/twintake/exhaust etc...) I went straight to a K04 with stage 3, not been rr yet but I'm expecting around 300-350 and i'm very glad I did it :happy2:, all my parts have been second hand so I have saved a few quid here and there.
Go for it :smiley:

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:

To get the most from a K03 you do need to upgrade the HPFP. You will also need to have a tune for the HPFP. So, you should consider the HPFP regardless.
A K04 without injectors with the proper tuning will give you more power than a K03 at its limits if the HPFP is upgraded for both. There is a guy here in town that installed the Frankenturbo F23T and kept his oem K03 injectors, and with WMI and a HPFP...he just dyno'd 350 wheel HP = approx. 380bhp. I haven't dyno'd my '07 yet with its new DM K04+ tune, but I'm certain it has much more power now. Realistically, a maxed out K03 will likely give you 25 more hp than you have now. You can expect about 285 to 290bhp.

Considered a beach buggy K03 hybrid?
Banham:
So a possibility is i can get a k04 and upgrade the hpfp and get it remapped and will produce more than a k03 with less stress on the turbo? Could i add injectors plus other things later on when funds allow.
Prob a silly question but what is a beach buggy ko3 hybrid? Stronger than a ko3 but not as much as a ko4? :ashamed:
TommyR:
From the little understanding I have… Essentially they are modified to have bigger internals to increase performance. These might be of some help…
