no it has been your comments upon other similar threads, about righting off the K03s
well since YOU have done the research, it must make the rest of us wrong....obviously when I had the K03 and the K03s, the considerable difference i felt must have been imaginery
To be honest I bet most have this dilema. BT is always so tempting, just can't imagine how well it would pull. But i know the harshness of the ride and other little things would still niggle me whatever.. just gotts keep telling myself that
yeah but i've put up with it so long its starting not to bother me lol
maybe it was all in your head....maybe you really wanted to feel a difference so badly to prove to yourself that it wasn't a waste of money that you convinced yourself? perhaps there was a massive difference....i dont know, i dont know you from adam....based on my research, and my experience and my own tight fisted personality....the k03s is not worth its value
if you truly went over to a k03s turbo from a k03 already fitted with the works, and felt a noticeable power increase, then good on you.
To me it sounds like your trying to make me out like someone that pisses on the k03s brigade....well in hindsight your not far off...i dont like wild, unproven and unrealistic claims that people have made in the past
perfect example today...Daz (who is a mate) made a statement about how well the k03s holds its power at the redline...and compared it to the k03, i replied in good humour and in comparison to his own car. we've played before on he roads...and his is obviously quicker....
im picking up my AM04'd cupra on sunday, mapped very conservatively to 260bhp, hoping it will be a bit different to k03/k03s cupra's. I just want one that will hold boost and apparantly the AM04 is really good for that. I think borg warner can still build you "am04's" which i think is just k04 internals in a k03s housing.

no I am saying the K03s is better, and no im not saying i piss on the K03 brigade, never did - that comment seems to be in your head not mine
not better just for the power, but also peak figures, and is just the right amount of power for the Ibiza
you have a tuned K03 with all the bits - 220bhp for example, but it cant carry the power, although 220bhp is the right amount for the Ibiza
you have a tuned k03s with all the bits - 240bhp for example, but it can carry the power further up the rev range, and is still the right amount of power for the ibiza - conclusion :the right power and holding it up the rev range is an ideal combo for the Ibiza
whos car is it your picking up? and ex members?
what do you mean build one? the closest thing to is iirc would be the k04 - 001 which apparently was less efficient than a k03s.

its josh's old car, think it was one of the 1st cars with an AM04 turbo. Am04's are only modified k03s, im sure they could rebuild one for you - but at a cost of course. I heard that the k04-001 was pants - isnt that the one that big boys toys sells?
K03s is a pointless upgrade imo if you have all the mods on k03 and tuned properly. I only done it coz my old turbo was toast, you still get a turbo that hasnt got enough guts to hold any sort of boost for any amount of time, you just gotta look at the RR figures to see that... ooh it made 250bhp, should be, made 250 then still fell 100bhp within 3000rpm
Talk of 250bhp is plenty for fwd is nonsense, 250 isnt really enough personally.
Personally i'd import a GT28RS eliminator for under 1k, manifold, TIP, injectors and MAF then stick REVO stage 3 on it. All can be done DIY for under 2k no probs. Sell your milltek DP and buy a 3" blueflame downpipe. Job done if your keeping it.

the downpipe on mine was a 3" , looked like a nice piece of kit , fair play to who ever made it , i think it came of olly20vt , and i think the company went bust who he bought it from , so sourcing one of them out may be the hardest bit

k04 cant flow enough to get over 300. Thats why people go hybrid on their asses.
You could go for T3Super60 or proper GT28RS turbos and get the manifold from Ballistic Power to fit the specifi flange. Turbos are cheap as hell along with all the bits, just the mapping would be the most expensive. But Revo stage 3 makes it too cheap not to seriously think about it.
