So you reckon the Helix is good enough to take anything a K04 could throw at it? That's probably the most power I'll put through this car.

If you add WMI on with a K04 you can get 450lb/ft with a fairly aggressive delivery. It may struggle with that, but MC71 has one of the highest outputs from a Stage 2+ K04 (361bhp) and his is fine.

Just make sure your tuner doesnt exceed 400lb/ft to keep the clutch happy

I didn't know you could get that much torque from a K04, I doubt I'd ever push one that far though TBH. I'd either get a different car or go mad with it and I'd have to change things anyway but that's way in the future, I'll stick with the K03 for now  :laugh:.  Thanks for the info  :happy2:

Yes helix will be good for anything a k04 can do unless running stupid aggresive torque as said above, turbo would probaly pop before the clutch then tho lol

Every clutch i have owened with a sachs plate has took about 10 minutes to change gear.. I know someone running helix on a big turbo but only low boost about 400ftlb and its done lots of track

Think this thread got off topic a bit, so what could I realistically expect to get with the mods listed?

From what I've read I'm hoping for 285-290 BHP and 350lb/f +

Sorry mate.

Yeah they figures sound about right. Will make a massive difference to the car.

Similar mods. I got 300bhp 346.2 lbft

300hp on a K03 without WMI? What mods and whose map & dyno? I'd be very skeptical of those figures as you need a nigh on perfect setup to get a genuine 300hp

300BHP give or take sounds good. perhaps no need for k04 until you get bored of the power?

I have a meth kit so just need to throw all the parts the car

That's my plan, stage 2+ K03 this year and then in a year or so I'll go K04 and then 18 months or so after that my loan is paid off and I'll go mad with this or trade up to something else.

But things never go to plan.......

Do you mean me?

My mods are

Cai intake
Autotech fuel pump internals
Milltek full turboback sportscat
Ths intercooler
R8 coilpack
Rev g dv

Its an rtec map thats on it. I had a dyno run at tdi-north there aswell with graph if you want to see the graphs.


Goodluck with car mate. Might be money that people say is wasted but at least you will get some fun out of it. Well worth it.

Cheers, I would much rather waste my money on the car than drinking or overpriced clothes etc..

Chasing M3's Porsche's and other 50k cars is my fun  :laugh:
