i am sure I was running around 135bar.  I would be shocked if they was running 150bar as the rs4 valve could not cope with that.

I was just in the process of changing the LPFP before I left.

 :driver:

Maybe they have changed the RS4 valve to something larger or maybe it can handle 150bar I don't know but they are running 150bar.

Maybe its a valve from the 2.0TSI as that is able to run 150bar standard

it is to do with how much they flow,  I think they crack also.

Would be good to find out.

You can buy 145 and 155 bar fprv's too. The RS4 valve has a 136bar return pressure, but that doesn't mean you can't run higher fuel rail pressures, it just means that it is harder to maintain the pressure from the low pressure side. :smiley:

R-Tech seem to be the ones who are pushing the boundaries of the K04 at the moment.  Havent seen them post in a bit though.  Id like to know if it makes the gains on a K04 or if its only GTX28 and ihgher turbos which yield the benefits?

Hi all,

I have been offered a real good job in OZ so might be working there for 2 years :confused:  ( would like a TTrs when I get home)

So I am thinking of selling my car for 10k pm if your interested. (engine has only done 16k - 34k on the clock)

I am sure you could break It and get more money but im on the other side of the world.

Cheers

Still one of my favourite build threads this  :notworthy:

Well worth a read from start to finish. No one has pushed a K04 this far since  :sad1:

Does niki recommend this though? When the average joe comes in with similar spec he doesnt push the turbo that far on a regular basis and send them home kickin the ass out of a k04.. From what i recall the owner was was just testing the limits?

Nah it really isn't recommended, it will probably shorten the life of the turbo (although I'm no expert here).  It's a really peaky curve for the power and all that power comes in quite early in the rev range. A K04 hybrid would give a much better curve.

I've been a passenger in this car and it really is MENTAL  :laugh:

James wanted all out crazy power, and that is exactly what he got. Niki spent 3 days and 2 tanks of fuel getting this right on the dyno.

At JKM dyno day it made more power than a BT setup and nearly pulled itself out of the dyno  :scared:

Niki wouldn't send any average joe with this level of power, unless they understood what they were letting themselves in for (like James) it's a real specialist setup.

Would love to see what Niki could do with yours Pikey :drool: his new VVT mapping would help to spool that turbo earlier for starters  :notworthy:
