general opinion from the tuners is the regular GTi internals are good for 330-340ish

APR, VF etc etc all tune ther stage 3 type kits for the 200hp 2.0T FSI cars to around the 375BHP mark as this is seen to be a safe power level for the standard internals. By safe, they feel its super safe! Hence why they would tune the cars to that level.. They could get a lot more pretty easily, and the engine would take it. But not for long..
The reason as far as I can tell for the bent rods with K04 turbo's in the US have both been bad tuning, I have a PM from one of the guys saying that both failures were down to massive amounts of advanced ignition, huge heat, pinking etc etc..
Both of those cars were on 'custom' engine maps..
Honestly, K04 on a K03 engine is safe, and Im not just saying that because I have one for sale..

That's good to know Jonny....and reassuring too. :happy2:

Also, forgot to mention. (I have in the for sale ad)
Revo have there demo TT running an Edition 30 K04 turbo set up, thats a demo car, being ran to the max on a daily basis, not only is it extremely fast, but also has ran with no problems what so ever.
Revo offer the stage 3 software for K04 conversions on 200hp 2.0T FSI engines.. Its a simple yet massively effective mod for the 200hp cars!

TT says there the same :happy2:

Does that mean he's right though? :scared: :scared:

....He's recently totally blown his credibility with his rantings as far as I'm concerned!
But we are all entitled to our opinions :smiley:
matt a:
glad that's all cleared up, I was genuinely interested as to whether the KO3 GTI's internals would cope, as I know the differences between the 2 engines is more than a KO4 and 30bhp.
WhiteGTI:
Does the ED30 have the same fuel pump as a normal GTI?
I experience falling fuel pressure when I put the boost up on my Revo, as the OEM fuel pump can't cope.
But I don't recall hearing that ED30's experience the same issues????
Thanks in advance,
Chris.
