What sort of power can i expect with the K04-15?

anyone??

Looks good, what brakes you after for it? Did you manage to get a custom caliper carrier?

The 1.8T 190 has a K03s turbo as standard which is capable of around 230bhp when mapped. Is there any benefits of changing to a K04 turbo before i get a remap done?? I know there wont be massive gains but is it reccomended? The reason i ask because i might be able to get hold of a K04 quite...

Thats a nice car with good spec for the money. I have seen similar cars priced at nearly £10,000 on auto trader!!

Ive had a quick look on ebay for A4 1.8T 190 and there seem to be quite a few that are not selling. I checked the completed listings, and only one has sold been sold at a price of £7250. The rest have had no bids or reserves has not been met. Why is it a hard time to get to sell these...

anyone????

Are there no engineering firms in the UK who can make some up?

Yeah, the graph is for a K04 turbo, TT injectors and remap. I was looking at Audizine and they say you need a manifold. Many are people are running big turbo's on the stock manifold. 250bhp will be enough, FMIC are too expensive. Im guessing i might have more power as the car on the graph...

What other engine tuning options are available for a 1.8T 163bhp other than a remap? A remap will take it to around 200bhp, is it possible to put a K04 turbo on it, how much do they usually go for? Will the injectors be ok for over 200bhp or will i need TT injectors? Is it posible to...

Any luck with the company that did the bracket for $90?

$90 is very good, looking forward to the results. I have been told that the rear you can not do as the handbrake mechanism is totally different.

Its mainly to improve the mid-range response. I currently drive a golf TDI. Im getting rid of the TDI as i dont do the mileage to justify the diesel.

Quattro would be nice but its not essential, also they command a big premium over the FWD models. I do all city driving so cant see it being much help. Also there loads of cars with 200BHP+ that are FWD. MK5 Golf GTI, Focus ST, Type R

I was originally going to go for a 1.8T 190 Sport or the S-line model but i have decided against it now. I have decided to go for a 1.8T Limited Edition instead now. The main reason is of price. The 190 Sport are around 2003 go for £8.5-9.5k and the s-line are around the £10k mark. The 2004...
