How much extra would it cost you to convert the GTI to a K04?

How much would extra would it cost you to trade in for an ED30?

Which would you rather have..?

i think about 2k to convert, i already have the parts but will it be safe to do on a 89k milage car? for around 9.5k i can get an Ed30 with less mileage, im just worried about the mileage

Unless you're going stage 3.. Is there any need for a K04?

Please correct me if I'm missing your point..?

iirc martziniuk did the k04 upgrade on his car that had more mileage on it than yours.
Without traction power is nothing!

Why would you want anymore than stage 2+ in a FWD car though?


A stage 2+ K04 is more powerful than a stage 2+ K03, so stage 3 has nothing to do with it

Stage 3 on a Golf GTI needs a K04

Stage 3 on and Edition 30 needs bigger than K04

how powerful is a stage 3 normal GTI that has k04 upgrade?

Is it the same/similar to a ED30 at stage 2+?
