Just done the K04 conversion OMG!
« on: May 17, 2012, 03:21:33 am »
As above i got my car back today after having the k04 turbo, s3 injectors, and s3 intercooler fitted, Took it for a drive and floored it omg it pulls so much more and better now and the whole car sound much much more agressive then before didnt think it would be possible with the conversion itself.
Also the DSG burps have gone even louder! The car has also started to give out some LOUD pops from the exhaust as if its flames or something, The car has not been mapped yet just waiting to get booked in by R tech now cant wait!

Normal crusing it seems just the same dont feel that it has any lag at all and at 70mph with cruise on i was getting 38-42 MPG which I am well happy about, anytime i feel i want to give it some I just drop a gear and  :driver:

All in all its amazing and well worth it, Only the map to look forward to now along with the DSG map

How much has this bumped your insurance by? I think greenlight quoted me 641 excluding engine mods and an extra 70 with these mods, cant be sure now.

Is it safe to run around on what I presume is a stage 2+ k03 map?

you will break it if you floor it without the map! In reality I heard that you wouldn't be able to drive it at all witk K04, injectors but without the map!

But based on what you're saying it works fine!

Mine went into overboost and limp mode

Yeah I have realised when flooring it completely there are fuel cuts and it does go into limp mode now and then but once the car is restarted it goes back to normal, I didn't know that I can damage anything if driven without the map?
