Can you fit a K03 Sport and then get re-mapped later?

[thermalp4]

Is it possible to have a K03 sport fitted and then get a re-map later?

Also could a K03 sport upgrade be done as a DIY job or is it best to take it to a Pro to have it fitted?

I want the same thing! But i still need to know if i go and buy the turbo and bits then the neuspeed inlet that is all i need?!

back to the question i think yes just runs alot better with the remapp

 

[thermalp4]

Well i'm supposed to be off on the weekend to pick up a K03 sport with all the fitting etc, so i just wanted to know whats what.

I've just got to confirm with the guy that it is a K03 sport. Its off a MK4 Golf AUM engine code.

its 150BHP though. I thought K03 sports were only on 180BHP engines?

 

[thermalp4]

Just poped over to my old home UK-MKIVS.net and had it confirmed that the AUM engine did have the K03 sport.

All i need now is confirmation that i can fit it without re-map?

This thread might help butt.

Looks like the 150bhp is AUM with a KO3s and the 180bhp AUQ also with a KO3s.

Cheers mate.

I'll inspect the turbo on the weekend.

All we need now son is a Laguna Intercooler and we're away!!

[andycupra]

so we still need to answer if it can be fitted without a remap!?

 

[thermalp4]

Yup.

Cant see why not.

But better safe than sorry.

I'm gonna buy the turbo anyway. Its only done 20k miles.

You don't NEED a remap, but as said you will want a remap to get it's full potential.

I remember reading a thread very recently where a guy was running an upmapped ko3s and a few other mods and I think he achieved about 180 bhp on the rollers.

 

[thermalp4]

Was that with an Ibiza Cupra running a K03 sport with no remap just standard or running a remap but not been altered to acommadate the K03 sport?

I'd be happy with that!!!

(Nice Sig thermalp )

I'm sure he didn't have any remap because I remember reading he was boosting only 8psi. A remap would run 14psi +.

 

[thermalp4]

Cheers Alpha. I Spent ages on that Sig pic.

Well sounds like a good deal to me. Especially for £140.

off topic i know but your signature looks dam hot now alphamale. i like the wheels and you really put some effort it to cleaning it

It's fine to run it with no remap. Getting mine fitted next Friday and won't be getting it mapped straight away. Best to get it done sooner rather than later though.

and yeah the car has had NO remap at all as of yet but still boosts for much longer than the standard K03 turbo

 

[t18con]

i ran with a k04 023 with no remap for a long time, and that was with the maf size changed too, so cant see any reason why not. as above, youll not see full potential though.

Thanks mate

Just blanking my plates on the pics I took today in the freezing cold (took a few of thermapl4's too as you can see). So I'll put the pics up in the picture section when I have finished - looks a lot cleaner then it did before

Another good picture of both cars HERE
