I presume require a special revo stage 3 map to take into account the different compression ratio and cams. id be happy to call it a day for the car after all that me thinks, provided i dont get a ride in any BT GTIs or leons :surprised:

Yep..
Obviously the beauty of the Revo map is that you will be able to take advantage of the lower compression by adding some timing.. :smiley:

Im pretty keen on this now, specially as its definately a safer way to get additional timing on the engine than using water meth injection. lower maintainnece as well

As for the issue of drop in rods, there is another option.
I inquired about this issue with Integrated a little while back and since they have no drop in rods they have suggested a set of IE rods + JE pistons.
the cost of this complete set is around the same as the rods you are discussing alone (although i do not know if they are the same strength) and the compression ratio will be 9.5:1 which is almost stock for us k04's and a good mod for the converted k04's.
the pistons are also drop ins since they are 82.5mm , same as stock.
on another issue, i really don't get the Anti approach towards water/meth. it is really a great way to cool down the intake, get more timing and as a benefit it also cleans your valves.

can someone explain "drop in rods" is this the type or make ? surly you will have to have the head off and fit new rings and bearings ? or am i missing something ?

'Drop-in' is just the term thats used for a rod / piston that is literally just a bolt on job.. So Integrated Engineering make a drop-in rod for the 200hp TFSI motor which will work with the standard piston..
Yeah head and sump off..
