Mylo's turbo is totally stock, and as far as I'm aware is the vehicles original. He'll come along and give the answers soon I'm sure.
It's an incredible feat, and goes to show what happens when you refuse to accept boundaries. Niki and Mylo have blown up the rule book within the last year, with a handful of 300bhp K04's and a 260bhp K03s. If you wind back two years 270bhp was the accepted ceiling for an S3, with the odd rarity making 275/280 and 230 was the accepted limit for a K03 with the odd car making 235 if it was lucky. You guys are all happy to accept 300bhp from a K04, so why can't K03's have moved on at the same rate?
If you look at the graphs the turbo is not being ruined, it's 22psi peak and holds 21psi past 5K. "Impossible" apparently.
The reason things have moved on isn't anything to do with the turbo's, not a thing has changed with them. But
tuners have got smarter, manipulating the stock ECU in ways to make power without having massive boost. Compared to what it is today mapping was **** two years ago, dirty power made with massive unnecessary boost because it was the only way it was possible. Look at Prawns car, it just made 307bhp on a base map...Two years ago that was fully mapped up awesome sauce K04 hybrid territory.
My old car is the ultimate example of this pikey tuning, it made monumental boost and some how coped with it. Everybody said it was a ticking time bomb, and that's how it felt to drive. If you look at Mylo and Prawns logs it just looks like a stock car with the figures doubled. Soooo smooth.
Niki had 250bhp out of a K03s Mk4 almost 2 years ago, nobody believed it then and you guys all took the **** out of me when I said it could be done. I can't undo the last two years worth of you guys thinking I'm a rambling nut job who thinks a K03s is the best thing in the world, but I can at least achieve my goal so I can personally put some closure on something I've thought for a very long time
I'm excited, Mylo and I chat literally all the time with new ideas and all that jazz. He's a nice bloke and he'll help me get to my target.
Anywho, I don't want negativity or any gayness. Positive thought and help to get to my 250bhp target [/B
Wesitcles, probably Brands is the best bet then. April next year again?
