I have 8k done since fitting the KO4 , everything still running perfect.


....Good to hear  :happy2:

I had the opportunity when my K03 broke to go K04 but couldn't justify the cost as it was also when my suspension needed replacing. VWR-KW-V3's were a more attractive spend for me and I have no regrets.

I watch my TV in black and white to make it last longer, I don't want to be putting any stress on the colour....


.... :signLOL:

That's extremely funny but not in the slightest an equivalent. Your colour TV is delivered to you as a colour TV, not a B&W.

It was only ever supposed to be funny, job done!

@ Mojo, you don't have to max out a K03, just having it running right and to the best of its ability - figures are cock all.

So wots the sweet spot bhp?

I honestly don't know, as I've only ever been on one set of rollers and then that'll fire up the whole accuracy debate again, which I can't be bothered with.

Mine's set up in such a way it feels like an N/A. It spools super early because of the decat and has a pretty much flat torque curve - it probably doesn't make as much power/torque as it is capable of, but then I think it'd ruin its feel on track if it did.

It's pound for pound as fast as StevieD's stage1 ED30s, if that helps? We decked both from 3rd on the 'bahn and they just sat side by side till about 140 and we bottled out.
