Loving this build. Lot of research and money has gone into this. How much is the OEM turbo from TPS out of curiosity?

The turbine wheels are the 1

It cost me a £1000 for the turbo

K03 to k04 is like night and day difference where the k03 spikes quickly but soon Tails off quickly where the k04 will kick in and just keeps on going and going it's rather addictive  :evilgrin: just goes to show you can run a k04 turbo on a axx engine and still be realiable in saying that though I've done all precautionary servicing made sure everything was spot on before going to that level of tuning.

Perfect. That's exactly what I was wondering :happy2:

When I got my K03 "stage 1" mapped that's exactly what I noticed. The car makes a lovely dollop of torquey power between 2K and 5K but then just dies off. Exactly what you'd expect in fairness from such a small turbo :smiley:

But I was surprised when my wife, who's not that bothered about cars, commented that it drives like a modern turbo diesel :laugh: :laugh: Fair play to her she's pretty much bang on :happy2:

What power and torque are you running now Josh?
And, if you don't mind me asking, what do you feel are the most valuable safety/longevity mods when tuning an AXX K04?

I'm gonna follow your earlier advice and get rid of my revision D DV. Think I'm gonna go with the GFB DV+ and be done with it :happy2:
