Black bud. Need to get some decent pics as done a ton of work on it, inc R-Tech KO4 conversion. Now running 352hp and 379tq
‘The pics were when my son took in PX as he works for Audi, hence I stole it for £1800
1 previous owner, FVWSH 128k immaculate condition and DSG. Was totally standard too(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200226/1d84c4ddc61a4dd9c5072703c788422d.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200226/4659ce5cf5aafc27855b6c3766619269.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200226/3f5e147092f3f2664c42ca9eb33ce936.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200226/27d0c285d7c1cbbde49cd52a941fcc4b.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200226/ba2487574f407f71992166ba31fa3f49.jpg)

Wow got a bargain there looks well looked after! How much did the k04 conversion cost ?

Yep stole it mate!!
KO4 conversion cost depends really. I sourced all the parts myself. Fully recond Turbo rather than 2nd hand and also brand new S3injectors. New I/c and most of the other parts that aren’t mechanical were used but in good condition. R-Tech fitted everything and mapped the car. Labour inc mapping was £1800 parts around 2k

Transforms a great car in to a pretty brutal but perfectly balanced and drivable car. The mapping by R -Tech is awesome and they also map the DSG, AND the Traction Control, which is simply excellent and further allows the additional Tq to be used while controlling the traction and not compromising anything.
