So today she was picked up by the RAC for free because I had to leave my car at a 'friends house'  :laugh:  :jumpmove: little tip dont register your account at your own house.

So she's going to Stealth Racing in Southam to be fixed and probably going to strap on a K04, question is how much power can I really put through my 10 year old 110k mile AXX lump and how long will it last?

how much to supply and fit the ko4 ?

dansmith180:
Thanks for the support guys  :happy2:

@patpong_pete not sure yet mate, they should be opening her up early next week and once the damage is assessed we'll go from there. Just trying to weigh up my options in advance ATM.

dansmith180:
So the prognosis is that the downpipe blew off and damaged a couple of bits on the way, nothing too bad though. The turbo was also on its last legs already so might as well get it all done at the same time.

Current plan is:

3" downpipe to join to my current sports cat and custom cat-back system
Beach buggy hybrid K03 turbo
Fit Newsouth boost gauge
Loba HPFP
Forge Twintercooler
Remap to run about 300BHP and 300LB/F reliably and hopefully the clutch will last a while because I'm out of cash  :rolleye:


Then maybe later injectors and clutch to push the Max out of the turbo (and probably engine).

Probably going to be off the road for 4-6 weeks depending on how long the parts take so going to be a bit of a wait  :sad1: however gives me some time to scrape some pennies together.

Shoduchi:
I like your plan. :happy2:

Just curious to know why you decided to go with Forge's Twintercooler.

I've read Niki from R-Tech saying that the best K03 option is the alloy OEM core from a S3, so that you can maintain the punchy boost sub 3200 rpm. I know you'll get an hybrid K03, but maybe for that power you'll be better off with the S3 intercooler with alloy ends. :smiley:

I hope you can have it back soon too. :drinking:

Not even sure if you need an upgraded HPFP to run that power?
