LOBA LO4XX Hybrid K04 Turbo

S3 S Tronic + This Turbo = 

I agree, are Revo definitely designing a map for this setup?

Did Alex say this will be a stage 3 GT30 map but with a manual boost controller?  Are APR interested in the mapping of this?  They wanted to map mine with the hybrid so maybe they would develop onw for this turbo.  Somone get onto keith and persuade him to fit the Loba LO4xx to his R.  If that already does a 12.2second 1/4 mile imagine what another 90-100hp will do to it

Think it's fair to say you'd need bigger tyres at the front, it's interesting thats there could be a whole new set of hardware required, new intake, new maybe 18x9 lightweight alloys....

Imagine a stripped out S3 with 245 section 888 tyres and this turbo......

Doesn't all this get to a point where you may as well buy a fast Porsche or similar?

I agree.  Thousands spent.  You could sell the S3/ed30 and use that mod money towards an RS3 which will make those figures with only minor work

....I'm 'guilty' of this as well. I've spent thousands on modding my lowly powered (but well balanced!) K03 GTI to my liking and could have bought something with higher performance out of the box. BUT an individually customised chariot is rather special, no?

As Kev at Revo once said to me: We each have to draw our own line in the sand regarding how far we go modding.

The age old argument of modding or buying a sorted car in the first place.

I know from years of reading EVO and before that Performance Car - I have never chosen to drive a car that serious driving enthusiasts (ie the guys who pen EVO) would choose.

Granted they all respect the mk5 GTI as a good drivers car, but far from the best front driver/ hatch.

If I had my head screwed on I may drive an MX5/ Elise/ E3x M3/ Reno Meg R etc (chooses cars of sensible price range that are good steers).

But we all have this affliction to spend/waste  money on modding humble VWs

My car choice is ruled by my heart not my head - I took a mates scabby old Boxster out a few weeks ago - fastidiously maintained I admit.....WOW what a car to drive. Could easily enough afford one if I sold my mk5.

But I choose a Golf.... ?


And why all the talk of quarter mile ETs.....surely this blower is better suited to a B road blast - goading the fast bikes
