Title: Best mods to make max power on K03 turbo
Post by: dansmith180 on September 08, 2014, 10:30:33 pm
Currently running a custom map with forge twintake, since then I've done a custom TBE with sports cats and looking to do intercooler and HPFP. What items can people recommend for best power? From what I've heard I might want to change the Twintake (probably go for ITG or evoms). Looking to get her setup for stage 2+ at R-tech after all the glowing reviews on here. Any advice welcome  :happy2:

Would larger injectors and low pressure fuel pump (in petrol tank) help up the power?

Nice, what do you hope to make with the HPFP? How much did you pay for the Peron fitted if you don't mind me asking?

I don't think they're neccasery at this point, and if they do make any difference it'll probably be marginal and not worth the money tbh.

Did think that, although if you plan to go K04 then they're probably worth getting on now. Think 280bhp is the top limit of the K03 turbo, so rumours suggest...

As far as my plans go ATM I'm probably not going K04, just gunna get what I can from the engine and then trade up to something bigger in a couple of years. Turbo R32 probably

The casual way you say that makes it sound like they're common place! I drove an M3 and fell in love with that V8 engine, would probably get a V6 car myself next.

Haha if only they were, I know it would probably take me a year to find one but would be a dream to own something like that.

Niki @ R-Tech has had 299bhp out of a K03. 290bhp+ is widely reached  :happy2:

I stand corrected. Still not 300bhp though, which is my dream figure...

well loba pump going on on saturday then soon as i can get back to rtech the better see what she makes , map always gonna be so drivable and linear from niki so power not the only thing but 290 plus im sure as he had to detune last time due to lack of fuel in mid range and was hitting over 290 so im sure with pump its acheivable
