k04 upgrade only 2.5 k????????? :|


i thought i read around 7 grand, or am i missing something here?


surely it would be better getting a bigger turbo than to spend time and money upgrading exhaust and intercooler (prob about 5grands worth)

wouldnt better gains be had out of the k04 with software to suit???

[DaveMack]

+ brake upgrades, Suspension, , exhaust, FMIC, LSD ... etc. etc. to handle (and stop) all the extra power.

Otherwise ... yeah, just 2.5K :D

[mitch_gti]

already have suspension upgrade.

front/rear adjustable swaybars, eibach prokit, forge strutbrace (on the way)

i will be buying new pads and brake fluid shortly.


i wont run into any problems fitting a k04 with stock exhaust and SMIC will i???

Will there be a massive difference in power to what i have now?

-APR flash
-BMC panel filter
-Cupra R intake
-Forge TIP
-Forge Diverter valve

You'd be best to PM Guy, Mitch. He can give you much more detail than almost anyone else on the forum (he's done it).

Yeah I do remember it advertised for 7G's up until about 3 weeks ago. Maybe they mixed it up with stage III+ Garrett upgrade??? :?

Yep, they're not designed to cope with a KO4

Well 2.5k for a turbo swap, 1.8k for a ecu program to run the K04, 2.5K for a FMIC..... you're looking at $6800 right there.

Aha! So ... what I need is K03-026 180 hp, 85 N actuator or K03-035 180 hp, 85 N actuator and get Guy to remap the software. :D

i think what i would be looking at (if i was gonna get a borgwarner turbo) is a KO3-052 ... bigger compressor... more effecient... might get a price today.

[DaveMack]

Guy, can you give us the gen on these KO3 models and the APR tune?

Cheers,

Wow - I'm very impressed by Borg Warner's response!

Not very often will someone take the time to write something out like that!

[99gti]

Nice find Sov! It's a very detailed description. I wonder how much though is also a sales pitch?

[WRXconvert]

Ok guys.. got some prices...

K03-052 goes for $1655
K03-035 goes for $1526

I can get them overnight from my source here in canberra... Pm me for more details.

[mitch_gti]

o0o0o :)

seems interesting

[thestu]

have you got dsg?

i wouldn't reccomend a ko4 with dsg...

bad mix

[shaneth]

We are in the Polo sections and the GTI polo doesnt have DSG or any automatic.

sorry mate i didn't read that part...

Just upgrade the downpipe. Cooler is fine but on hot summer days you'll want a bigger one.

Otherwise, there's no problem.

Don't bother mate - I'm pretty sure the Polo already has best Ko3, If you were going to upgrade the turbo you'd want to go straight to KO4 or even just gt28xx. :D j:

I bought a gt42r today.

[shaneth]

so what are you going to do with it :D

[Kai]

Put it on my 2jz project :P
