A turbo for people that want a bolt-on solution-

[R1GTI]

Ok - deed is done. I've got some pics of the install if anyone's interested?

Bit of a newbie tho' so don't know how to upload in-line pics like above. Can anyone shed some light and I'll then post them.

Thx. M

The E05 K04 Hybrid

K03 S Comp wheel & larger turbine wheel - looks like a k22 wheel to me:

Learn more about it here

This looks like the perfect bolt on to take you past the magic 300, sell your k04 to someone with a 180 or turbo sport and your well away /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile_smoking.gif

I hope to see at least one of you with this and 320cc's before the summer is out /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Research it carefully, ive followed this on Vortex and it produces no more power than a K04 from a TT/S3

 

[GolfTTish]

Got one on the golf, and the turbos rated in the 250-260hp region at best. It's smaller than the K04 you've got on your s3's already.
You'd be better getting a K04-23 modified if you want a bolt on option, or go for a propper big turbo.
On an 150/180hp car this turbo works well as an upgrade.

This isnt for mine, I had a hybrid k04-23.

From what I read the E05 was larger than the K04, they obvious mean the K04-15.

Sorry guys!

So what's your thoughts for someone with a fecked K03? What's the cheapest upgrade and the easiest to get a map for? Was originally considering a Mitsi TD04, but I'm concerened about the amount of work I'll have to do to fit it as the kit is intended for a 210/225 TT and whether I can get a map done cheaply...preferably Oettinger...any ideas welcome.

a modded k04/k03 hybrid is going to be a good replacement for a k03.

for a real custom chip solution, i can think of several ways - someone like AMD, try revo they have some code for non-standard turbos, or maybe a dastek unichip - these dont actually change the ecu chip, but use a piggyback system to modify the chips responses.

they are extremely good if the installer is good. the installation/mapping price is usually about £500

 

[GolfTTish]

Just chuck a second hand k03S on it and run your standard map. You'll gain some top end for £250.
Jabba have already produced some tweaked maps for k03s's on k03 cars (ndbw).
Revo can offer maps for hybrids on dbw cars.

 

[excursion]

Agreed, no need to change your map, I ran a k04 on my std map whilst waiting for a remap.

Obviously you're not going to get the most out of the turbo, but it's a cheap route to more power.

 

[GolfTTish]

Should be no reason why it wouldn't run OK.
I ran the e05 on a k03s map for months without a problem, but some guys have run ko3s on k03 maps, and had minor problems.

 

[ANDYTQ]

Mine is still ok John ,waiting for f/p cat and fmic now before i pay revo another visit for a map tweak.Will i need larger injectors for safety's sake ,if so what part no's and cost? Cheers Andy

 

[GolfTTish]

Don't know for sure andy. My glof ones were borderline on the ko3s at 4 bar, and bigger ones are £200+ the vat.

Talk to Kev. He can give you a better idea.

I have a set of new Bosch 310cc's for sale. £175
