Water Meth- will my engine break?
« on: April 19, 2013, 10:07:40 pm »
I've aquired a Water meth kit and are currently running a K04 conversion with a strong map on a BWA engine. My question is, will my engine cope with the extra power/torque?

Depends what figures your asking of it.

James was running around 380bhp and 450lb ft IIRC and he gave his 8k miles of serious abuse before his BWA failed  :happy2:

To get the most out of a K04 and WMI safely you really need to either re-build your bottom end stronger or swap your engine for a CDL lump from an Audi S3/ Golf R
