want more bhp

[TrickGTI]

Now now people. Back to the topic. 300 bhp is possible from a ko3 with enough bolt ons and revo stage 2+!! I have one 

[apollo13]

thanks guy thats made me feel better lol
im gonna book it in at amd this weekend as they said they can remap it to 260/268 bhp for around the £500 mark

hopefuly this should do for now antill  i can afford a downpipe and exhaust system????

The way I read this AMD have told him he'll get 260-268 with a re map alone.........

I'd check the condtion of your DV first to make sure there are no splits in the diaphragm, mine was shot and you could hear a sound like air escaping from around 3k rpm upwards, it affects the performance massively too, I read an old copy of Volkwagen Driver mag the other day and a chap who had his mk5 GTI on the dyno was only making 160bhp, turned out it was down to a torn DV!

Wow, that's good going Trick, I was only saying 260 with the stage 2, full exhaust and filter system and I still got shouted down with a LOL! Shame.
Do you get any momentary flat moments towards the end of the power delivery, had it on another car that was on to higher boost due to the fuel pump? Good going though Trick.

[golfecho5]

Good point MPS, worth noting there was an OEM upgrade DV that some of the earlier cars won't have (not sure on years, will check) which is a cheap first stop check. The earlier versions were prone to failure, hence the upgrade I suppose.

I'm no expert on these things but that figure is stage 2 territory from a K03!!    You ain't getting that from a remap alone.......

To achieve 260+bhp you are talking an Intake and a hi-flow downpipe and sport/decat.

It's a K03s on the 8L S3's K03 is in the A3's when i had mine RR'd it made 255 at the wheels, 99% sure it was bhp and not lb/ft. that was on a Revo stage one with a 007p DV and no other mods.

people go on here to help each other out with intelligent comment not start some monkey court drama over every piece of advice  - why would I lie or be hard of hearing, these are authenticated figures not unrealistic dream bhp's plucked from the back-end of some idiot. Please think before you make silly accusations that are unfounded and uneducated - 'my friend' type arguments do not constitute fact in absolutely most circumstances so shut up.

Please read the dyno chart attached or go to www.superchips.co.uk - now go Laugh as loud as you want or LOALAYW if that makes more sense to you.

All the best

I think you got your wires crossed there fella, I'm pretty confident Apollo was referring to the op's comment about AMD being able to give him 260-268bhp from only a remap!
He certainly wasn't having a pop at your comment, which is accurate, imho.

[TrickGTI]

It's only 5th and 6th gear that you can really tell that the ko3 has given up as it can't boost any mor don't get me wrong it's still pulling really well but just seems abit flat. But 2nd and 3rd are just mental and 4th is some where in the middle. If you bolt enough mods on to aid fueling and air intake temps then that sorts pretty much most them out!! You won't be disappointed

8L s3 is a k04. K03s was fitted to the mk1 Octavia vrs, golf gti aniversary and a few others.

[vRS_Pagey]

I thought so to, 8L and the later 8P are both K04, iirc so is the MK1 Cupra R (but don't quote me on that!! 

[E30Dom]

Funny you say that... a quote from an email sent to my brother from AMD essex when he enquired about getting a remap on his Ko3 Gti...

"The Stage one remap on the 2.0 TFsi is awesome and totally transforms the car. The gains are around 60-65bhp and 70-80 lbft of torque. The car will be much quicker throughout the rev range, improved throttle response and all round drivability. When driving around normally you should see a gain in MPG too, this is because of the added torque. The price of this is £499.95 inc vat and also includes a rolling road run with before and after graphs."

Really achievable?

[Creatz]

they said they can remap it to 260/268 bhp for around the £500 mark

The shoot down was posted because the reply says that the 60bhp gain can be done for £500

JKM will be doing my car soon, and they were upfront and honest and said i will gain
30 ish bhp for just over £500 with a stage 1 revo

Tbh I think this is a far more realistic expectation, mine was remapped by Angel Tuning, and they quoted between 230-235 bhp, and an increase of 50ish lb/ft torque, for the stage 1 software.

[E30Dom]

I have same issue, alot of places state 300-310 for stage 1 on the ED30... JKM have stated 280ish, which is what cars with stage1 have seen on their rollers... I'm just saving up... ;)
