Great, K04 power and torque figures for GT30+ money!  :happy2:

Looks nice though! Like the look of the MK6 a lot!!

nice figures but seem a bit 'enthusiastic'  :signLOL:
personally the car looks great EXCEPT for the wheels , despite being BBS they cheapen the look of the car.
18 inch black huffs with a polished lip (aka Greenouses) would look far better..

bhp figures seem quite conservative, lot of torque though.

I wonder if those are whp or bhp?

BHP makes it similar to the mkv

WHP would make it 425bhp ish.........in which case, has it got uprated internals?......if not it is probably 370bhp :wink:

Right!

We get the equivalent of the USA's 94 octane over here, so the output would be up on that by a couple of bhp too :smiley:

Looks stunning and fairly impressive figures. I wish i could afford a Mk6. Maybe in 2-3 years to accompany the Mk5. Then again, the Mk5 would have to make way, as the Mrs wants a CW Edition 30 with a retrim in a custom colour, so id have to have my own Mk6.

Well, that answers the "Will my Alcons fit on a MKVI?" question.. excellent!

I really like the MKVI, as soon as we start seeing some more wheel combos and a bit of tweaking I think the un-decided will get it too. Just need those all important 2nd wave of options to come in, like Recaros and stuff.

....It'll take more than a fancy set of wheels to sort out the rear end styling of any Mk6! The OEM Mk5 looks so much better than the OEM Mk6 in my opinion.

This APR example looks good in red but I'd like to see pics of their mods to the rear.

Hmm - I think a lower, wider stance with some bigger pipes would see it lose a bit of the Tiguan-esque back end. Then it'd look hard as nails.

it doesn't use a K04 tho....uses an APR/Garrett turbo (Probably close to a GT2871R again)

here's the kit!

Good news, the tsi has improved fuelling system, no need for upgraded HPFP and bigger injectors for this power level.
i might need to find me a tsi soon  :driver:  :jumping:

Over the top mod list ;o)

TSI runs 150 bar standard, the APR and Autotech etc fuel pump options for the FSI only run at 130bar.. And as far as I know the stock TSI injectors can run to 450hp..

Wander if there is a difference between the stock TSI injectors and the K04 TSI injectors as fitted to the Scirocco R etc? They could well be the upgrade injector of choice for FSI engines in the future rather than the RS4's..
