Be good to have it remapped so you can run more timing... really get the most out of it then! Looks good

 

[PaulJC84]

I have had mine on for about 2 and a half years now.

Every little helps.

soupie, i have probably asked you this before, where did you get your k04?

i'm waiting for a gt3071 but it is a lot of moeny to do conversion and am thinking of putting a k04 in for the summer, my car feels gutless with newly built engine, i think it is because i'm running std boost with 7:1 compression ratio pistons. with a k04 i can some decent boost in there.

ive seen that one on ebay for time and for 90 i wouldnt buy it ive had the same pipe in my hands which i fitted to a mates a4 and i wasnt to happy with the build of the pipe and its only std size.

for the extra money i would defo go with the ATP or THS pipe which i think is made by the same ppl 3" and top welds and good flanges

then when you go big turbo you can keep this pipe on and run a full 3" system.

did anyone check out my write up on the link in the first post i was trying to get it in pdf format but didnt know how to.
