Physically smaller than both the APR and the THS but still gives similar results I hear.  Really great price too.

If I was doing a K03 to K04 conversion and wanted more then the LO400 or similar hybrid would be a good option.   If I wanted loads more then it would be big turbo setup to stay reliable and not have to run wmi to get numbers ;)

Yeah, the Eurojet has been tested up to 600bhp, so my plans mean it will be more than capable of what I demand from it. :happy2:

I don't think I'd even go for a K03 to K04 conversion now if I was in that position as the hybrids and L0400 are much better options now for similar prices.

A big turbo would be a fantastic option for a specific track or drag car, but for me personally It would always be a compromise and I really want power and ultimate flexibility from the R, which ultimately means sacrificing power to some degree. :smiley:

Hi Ben :laugh:

You still steering from the rear in the 135? Are you still coming to Inters?

Fully agree there.  Eurojet quality is fantastic.  Would have one on mine if they were more widely available when I got the THS.

Mine is running seriously well with the ttrs lpfp and 3c0 controller.

That's good to hear Alex. My RS3 LPFP will be stretched further soon. I just want to see what the R does at GTI Spring Festival down the strip before any more parts go on it. :happy2:

 :signLOL: You know me too well mate..  :grin:

Not sure about Inters at the minute as it falls right in the middle of my stag do and wedding (and my mate's stag do too come to think about it). Will try my best though..  :wink:

As for the car - it's good to see you're not looking at going the BT route mate. I think it would ruin the car personally and like you say, it would seriously affect the drivability for day to day use. If you want serious performance and track-slag drivability, go for a lighter more track focussed car. Yours with a Loba fitted would not only be stupidly quick for the roads anyway, but it will still retain it's road manner when not going hell for leather..  :happy2:

Won't need any luck with the stag do mate.. The wedding on the other hand....  :scared:  :signLOL:

She knows what I am like, she's been with me long enough. She was also the one who had to pick me up from the Police station when I had my...er... incident.  :ashamed:

What are your impressions so far with that controller Alex?
