Bens Black GTI - Now for sale

If anything, the anti surge wheel is a good idea. The k04 itself should surpass what a bwa/axx can handle anyway, so apart from the anti surge you shouldn't need to upgrade it.

You're still on 200bhp?

Mines k04'D on a axx engine handling it just fine  it's completely different to drive now and still puts all the power down too

Good man! I spoke to Steve at Statller and he says it's only really aggressive boost and torque past 400lbft that causes problems. It's all in the mapping.

What hardware/software/figures are you on?

[jhook661]

Brand new k04/injectors
Cts hard pipe and muffler delete
Cts runner flap delete
Apr Intercooler
Revo ceramic intake
Milltek TBE
Revo stage 3 mapping
355bhp and 365ftlb
It feels just lovely 
And the mapping has been held back so if I decide it needs more it's got more

That's impressive. Any figures. I was thinking of revo but they are generic and aggressive which wasn't what I was looking for. Custom map all the way. we will have to compare figures when done.

Mines 2.0TSI engine btw not TFSI

I'm guessing there's a Loba or APR pump in there too! Great figures. Does it feel much laggier than the k03?

[jhook661]

Iknew I forgot something yes a loba HPFP
It's slightly laggier then k03 but not by much but when the k04 kicks in you know about it I wonder what a tte420 feels like 
To be fair I do want to head up to RTECH to do their magic but I'm happy how it is for now until I get bored and put a CDL lump in and tte420 that ...

[AJP]

TTE420 in a front drive car would be mental.

I reckon you're probably close to the sweet spot with those figures. Past 400bhp would be a handful. But I suppose a diff would help.

The thing I don't want to lose is the quick spool of the k03. But for 350bhp+ I wouldn't mind losing a little bit!

Sent my 'Shopping List' to VW for prices. This is what they came back with:



Will be gathering these in the next few weeks/months ready for the conversion.

Who served you at TL mate?

Chap called Paul Hughes. Why do you ask?

[bbfb10]

Swapped my rear passengers side door skin which some bar-steward decided to reverse into in a carpark. Took about 30 mins in all.

Purchased a Mk7 GTI PP on Friday.

The mk5 will be for sale soon, will sell most parts separately but will need standard parts plus cash in return unless car sold as a whole.

Will be sad to see it go.

Shame your selling her, just stumbled upon your build. I'm from burton. I picked up a 2007 red gti on Thursday with 142k on the clock. She's got a cobra exhaust I'm told, I think she might be mapped too but can't be sure.
