Soory to hear about that Robin, some really great info in this thread regarding the Gti engine !

Robin you did proabably have it done, but did you ever check for a cracked turbo pipe ? ( don't know where ? but i had a loss of performance on my KO3 and they found a cracked Turbo pipe and that was only due to them repairing my Gti after a headon accident ) 

They must have checked the air mass sensor aswell ?

Hopefully the transplant you do will sort it out  :smiley:

btw i think my ed30 has a loss of performance the dealer says there is nought wrong but i am adamant it does not pull as hard in the midrange ? :sad:

Yep, all the turbo hoses (SAMCO and Neuspeed Charge and Discharge) etc etc have been thoroughly checked. also MAF, PCV, DV etc.

We'll be checking the turbo on Friday.

Some of these faults are tricky to find, especially if people don't agree (not the case with me).

Why not do a diagnostic dyno plot or/and go out with a laptop and check all the gobblygook stuff (with someone who knows what they are doing!).

Anyone reliable in your neck of the woods?

VW tech document does show the turbo has to come off to inspect and test the wastegate - although there suppose to be a way of doing it on the car- just a slight space issue to deal with

Thanks Robin, as and when you can - enjoy the weekend first and foremost.

Hi all,
I'm the doner of the turbo for Red's motor (hope all goes well). The K04 debate has raised some interesting opinions on Briskoda.net for sure.
My personal opinion is without doubt AMAZING. The drive you get i feel is superb, bearing in mind I do at least 1000 miles a week.
I'll be keeping my eyes open on the forum for any future meets to try and make a presence so some of you guys can take a test drive.
Hope you dont mind me crashing on here in my VRs.
And again, hope it all goes well Red.

Had the milltek fitted and stg1 Revo within 100 miles, then got talked into the K04 a short while after.
So, 3000 miles later the car went back down it was 'just' the K04, S3 I/C, injectors, intake and D/V relocate.
I think it adds up to the full upgrade mate

Hi sibart! This is a surprise! Did Kate point you in this direction?

Obviously I'm hoping we (JKM) find a fault in my existing turbo which is the reason for my boost loss, OR, that your turbo instantly solves my problem - the rest will merely be academic. I think we'll know as soon as it's fitted and my car gets data logged and dyno'd.

I know you are extremely happy with your K04 upgrade and I can well understand why. However, as I've written in some length in earlier posts in this thread, I personally don't want such FWD power.

Watch this space :happy2:

....Does that mean that you wish you'd got my turbo problem so you would have an excuse for a K04 kit? :evilgrin:

How would you justify the cost to the missus?
