Update on my 08 TR GTI
greygti:
Thought I would post an update of the car since my last post
The most major change is that I've done a KO4 conversion - consisting of 3000 mile second hand KO4 turbo, new S3 injectors, turbo silencer delete kit, 200bar fuel rail pressure sensor & a S3 3bar map sensor, full S3 pipe work kit, intake valve clean. Car went to Rtech for a custom stage 2+ and made 363bhp & 403lbft at 23psi with linear map without too must boost aggression
Fitted some new OZ ultraleggra’s in matte black with new Michelin pilot sport 3 tyres.
Standard brakes were not coping well with increase in power and torque, so decided to opt for a 345mm Vagbremtechnic DB9 4pot full brake kit with pagid RS4-2 blue brake pads. Braking power is unreal for a fast road car.
A big thank you to Aks tuning for the parts and Rtech for the map.

Wow gone to town on that! Looks very tidy. Have you got a picture of the whole car with the new boots on?
AJP:
That k04 graph is pretty damn impressive. 400lb/ft?!
Did you talk to Niki about how the internals will cope at that? And the Helix? I think they're rated for around 400lb/ft?
Reason I ask is that I've just fitted the same clutch, and I'm going to follow a very similar path in tuning. But I want it aĺl to be reliable!
I've already got the full BCS ticked off, and I planned to go for a Loba pump and Revo intake as you have, so it's good to see the parts working in practice.
Great results

Internals will cope fine as its a very linear map with progressive power and torque from the bottom to the top (1.58 bar or 23 psi peak boost) it's not coming in all guns blazing early on in the Rev range like some maps, the BWA is a strong enough engine really, again clutch has been fine
Thanks It's so so good to drive , quick
