K03 limits???

[TrickGTI]

hey people just wanting to know what the limits of a GTI k03 are??? i know its being done but what is needed to take it up to, and a touch over 300 bhp?? thats my aim for now.... so far iv got fitted a forge inatke, uprated DV and twintercooler im saveing for a blueflame TB exhaust then HPFP. with the TB exhaust is it worth getting the complete de-cat or is it just better getting the sport cat??
Whats next after that as once its all fitted i shall be seeking the best re-map 
Any comments appreciated
Thanks

if you want 300 or over in a k03 gti you will need a differant turbo, id say high 280s is the absolute max in a k03 and for that i reccon you will need new turbo hoses, decat full exhaust, CAI, intercooler, HPFP, uprated DV and stage 2+ fuel pump map which will cost ya about 3k+

^ What he said really.

A Stage 2 car is realistically only going to make in the 250-260 range. Sometimes you get cars making a bit more, sometimes you get cars making a bit less.

I'd say 270-280 is the very very max.

[Janner_Sy]

stage 1 235-245hp

stage 2(exhaust/intake) >260Hp

stage 2+ (exhaust, intake, HPFP, intercooler, pipework) >280Hp

i truly reckon that with water methanol injection and a custom remap with all the above mods that you could touch 300Hp. 

they struggle at the peak, but you will find that these cars make very good plateaus of power from 4500 onwards.  its not all about peak figures at the end of the day.

Im hopeing to convert to a k04 but not any time soon...  so for now if 280 is looking like the max im guna get thats what i wanna get to   whats CAI stand for??? im most excited about the exhaust carnt wait to get it... iv only got that and the fuel pump left to go out the list before mapping. i got the turbo hoses with the forge twintercooler. whats the map to go for with all of that??? custom, revo i dont know there is that many reviews on different ones its all abit

CAI stands for cold air intake, map wise its up too you you cant go wrong with the big boys, revo and giac get good results.

[Janner_Sy]

cold air intake.

the top 3 intakes are probably the evoms, ITG maxogen and forge twintake.

best intercooler for your money will be either the S3 IC, forge twintercooler or THS intercooler.

exhausts, you want to look into pipewerx, blueflame and miltek

High pressure fuel pump(HPFP) cheapest option is th autotech.  apr is twice the price and IMO not worth the extra.

remap wise, the top contenders on here are revo, but APR, jabba, giac and shark performance are all worth a punt as well

[TrickGTI]

thats great cheers. Its made me wanna just go out and buy everything tomorrow... well blueflame will be coming next month and fuel pump month after that, then the map can be my x-mas present to myself ha keep an eye out for my dyno graph around xmas time 
thanks agen

there is a group buy on somewhere on here and VAGOC for the HPFP internals for £230  iirc.  thats alot less than normal

I'm pretty sure someone on here has a k03 with a Dyno Dynamics RR printout showing over 300bhp...
