Should I get this TIGHT K03????????? I want to shoot for 150 WHP!!!!!!!!! But I dont know if I can handle the power.
dude, thats a K03 sport, tone it down a notch, WAY too much airflow. and i suppose i can take the stock junk off your hands too
For those of you that weren't at the minnetonka meet tonight we were joking about how friggin tiny the VW K03 turbos are
I don't know if the K03 would be able to flow enough air, the cbr sucks quite a bit of air through the ram air tubes, here is the turbo kit that is supposed to be on a cbr http://www.shandyturbos.com/cbr954rr.html it is a Garrett GT 20......curly how does that compare to the K03??
My buddy at work had the 180 hp ko3 sport turbo in his jetta. It was actully quick. Now he has the K04 and is just waiting to get his Revo tunned. I would say with the mods he has he should be able to put down about 220 to the wheels.
i call shens on that, i laugh so hard when they talk about an "upgrade" turbo in the VW world, K03 is a joke, K03sport is the same stupid little turbo, and a K04 is no bigger really.
They can still squeeze a decent amount of power out of those, they really can. Its very unefficient at those boost levels, but, hey. Still more power. 22 psi from a ko3 sport.... I'd rather have 15 from a correctly sized turbo.
The turbo is sized perfect for what the car is. If you drive a stock jetta 1.8t or even a chipped one with exahust. The cars are alot smother. WRX boost almost seems like its on or off. The 1.8T is not supose to be the high performance model anyways. The VR6 is.
the vr6 is a goofy sounding unreliable turd...ide never want one over the 1.8t, i cant stand VW either!
How is it unreliable? I dont really see any major problems with them. They do have a few comon deals but every car does.
how is it? more like how isnt it. honestly, its an over complicated motor that was like my SVX, a messed up experiment that made it to production. wheres paul to explain?
They seem over complicated if you don't know anything about them. I have worked on alot of VR6s. I will admit they are a little overwhelming at first but once you mess with them a little bit they are quite easy to deal with. I would say they are one of the better VW motors.
yeah they are one of the better, but they are no MK3 2.0 either, IMO thats hands down the best motor VW made to date. but yeah, VR6= pain in the ass IMHO
ok subie boys welcome to VW school. KO3 pateticlay tiny KO3 spot. tiny but alittle better. KO4 the standard upgrade to the KO3 alittle bigger and better flowing. maybe 40whp increase. if you really want VW power GT30R. should make 300+whp with revo. or you can be ghetto like me and make a turbo set up for a N/A motor with a subie turbo. then your car is mad sexy.
maybe small but my stage 2 is getting beat by my dads s4 with a pair of these and its and auto... WTF
VR6=PAIN IN ANY VW OWNERS ASS. dont touch a VR6 without expecting problems. good lord i hate VR6's. if you follow the guidelines for a VR6 you will be ok. but boost ans **** is a HUGE PAIN. intake and exhauts. dont do any more. as for the ko3 though. it is a seriously undersized turbo. most VW modders dump it really fast. or just crank the hell out of them. you can run 23psi with them. but you can hit limp mode like that. very bad. get diodes. problem solved. but the problem is anything over 20psi the turbo leaks and does stupid ****. save yourself the pain and throw that **** in the gabage. give me a good solid subie or garret turbo any day. well worth the money in my mind. will save you lots of pains and you can make some fun wheel hopping power! LOL! HORRAY FOR DRIVING THE WRONG WHEELS! thank you i will be here all week. i heart my VW. but it needs tweaks. SUBIE FORUMS VW GOD OUT!
thoose are KO3 sports. and thats BI-TURBO with all wheel drive yO! you dump the ****ty turbos out of there and you make mad HAWT POWER. 2.7t FTW!
there is some stupid **** that claims that he is awesome cause of his stage III audi 1.8t with a gt-28 and tune, they claim 300whp? is that ? legit?
haha I think that the wrx cobb stage 2 with around 220WHP runs mid 13s with a good driver. AWD FTW and by W I mean AUDI
i can put down 200whp (all 4 wheels) with just a chip.. on my car 2.0 ko3sport. oh also here is a lil k04.. Catching up with a stock sti.. and let empathize CATCHING cause it is hard to do.. http://s104.photobucket.com/albums/m180/Thelnferno/?action=view¤t=a4runonbackofSTI.flv yes the k03 is small .. but why do you have to be hating?
My roommates Jetta GLI is a surprisingly quick little card with I'm assuming a little td03 and 1.8 liter engine... Not the WRX but not too far off either! The one thing we should realize is that it still has TURBOZZZ!!! I would take his GLI over most other compact midsize cars with the exception of a WRX/STI or an older M3... He has some blizzaks on it right now and it handles the snow better than most 2 wheel drive vehicles!!!
i had a race with a kid with a black 1.8t, he said the same thing. my bro knows him says he put like 9k into his car. We had a lil fun from a 25 roll and i beat him...so yeah
i can buy a 1 thousand dollar mk1 body throw a vrt in there for 4g and make you look like your walking.. whats your point? that he spent alot of money and it is still not fast?
yea I do....everyone knows this building...it is the SLUMS of chan but cheap. I am pretty sure I have the most toys out of anyone that lives here. The least amount of burritos though.
na dude no hating.. there is a sweet jump there.. that is why i know it.. do you take your subi off of htere ahah
