What power can I push with my standard gti fmic (bwa 200bhp)
« on: March 03, 2014, 07:45:03 pm »
Am looking to go k04 soon so just wondering whether my standard cooler will be able to handle maybe 340bhp? Am sure it'll have trouble in temperatures above 20 degrees but by then I should hopefully have a s3 metal tanked cooler..

Mine is just about on its limit with a k03 at stage 2 but not sure about a ko4.. Are you using injectors?  Surely for the £200 ish it will cost for.a second hand one just fit one now to save on mapping costs having to do it twice

Sunglasses Ron from off here ran his previous stage 2+ ED30 with a standard IC and iirc made 355 bhp and 370ish lb ft of torque.
