thats going to cost £1600 ish were as i should be able to do the k04 mod for £700 + map wich is afordable, also lots of peaple say that when you get over 300 bhp it becoms realy hard to drive an ibiza (grip), also there wont be asmuch lag in a ko4 and if it brakes there are enough second hand ones to replace it,
Dont get me wrong i like all the coments its good to here other views,

 

[tackleberry]

would the map be a tweeked version of the cc you have now?

 

[Olly20VT]

i duno how they would do it but i wouls stick with CC, IIRC a LCR will get 280bhp from a remap and with a ko4 my engine would be almost the same so with my other mods i might see over 280 but i duno for sure.

id love to see a lcr with 280bhp from a remap and cc lol

 

[Olly20VT]

ah ok as i said i wasnt sure on the figurs but its not hard for them to get that, i.e if i did this i would be seeing 280bhp wich i would be happy with for the cost.

you say ko4 is gonna cost £700+

For £990 you'd be far better off going for the gt28rs eliminator kit and looking at 300bhp

 

[tackleberry]

where are you getting a gtrs eliminator for £990. The cheapest i've seen outside importing one is £1399 from star performance

 

[The_one]

Importing it mate, dont bother paying inflated uk prices just import it yourself

 

[tackleberry]

whats the waiting time like? how much would delivery be from the states? what about import duty?

 

[The_one]

Shipping is $135 which is £73

Website quotes 3 - 5 days international express airmail.

As for import duty there are ways around that

http://www.ls-cartec.de/turboladerkkk.htm (the turbo on bottom of the page - kkk k04r)

This is what i am running, 300 hp + in my case and now with water/meth injection probably a couple more. Am very satisfied, especially with the torque - 334 lb/ft @ 3871 rpm. Full boost @ 3300 rpm. It is a good street turbo, but could use more top end (after 6,500rpm). Everything working ok for the last 10,000+ miles, hope it stays that way

gt28rs is also a good turbo to consider(Atp kit)

Cheers

casper, thats what im after, 280/300bhp with out costting alot and a known brand and if anything gose wrong they come round on ebay enough, is there anything that hasnt been mentioned that i should know about doing the swop?

pipe to connect to intercooler pipe as the k04 sits in diff location

 

[Olly20VT]

is there a standard one on a differant car that would work?

 

[Olly20VT]

also what TIP do you need a samco/forge mk3 ibiza one or a S3 one + wich charge pipe (turbo to intercooler) will fit or is it a custom job?
