it should be good for 400bhp i would think  :driver: and it should not be that bad to fit as you are just taking off the old system and putting a new one on but then the car will need to be mapped for the turbo upgrade

i think you would ned to get the kit and then leave the car at jbs or awesome or another tuner for them to fit and then they can map the car on the road and i would think you would need a fuel pump aswell but it would shift  :driver:

....

If you look at JKM's K04 Upgrade Kit offerings you'll see what else is needed, and what is ESSENTIAL!

http://www.jkm.org.uk/performance/jkmtfsi-K04-upgrade.htm

So, anyone wanting to buy this kit (Garrett turbo reckoned to be better than Bosch K04) would have to add a few thousand squid.

I'm amused to read that the reason for sale is the driver's disqualification. This is kit guaranteed to propel you very quickly indeed into licence losing territory.

....Joe, you do realise don't you that the "GTI-R" is not guaranteed to happen. At best it's 50/50 currently.

Good deal as the R32 now is, and we know how much you love anything that's a good money deal, you might be stuck with it for much longer than 6 months. Great car though!

why would i be stuck with it??  :confused: if you think about it the they are going for 16.5k new!! over 6 months of driving it people will still be selling second hand ones for more money that i bought a new one for, so re-sale should be loss of about 1k, and if i liked it alot id probs invest my best to get 300bhp from it  :drool:
