If your running the k03s on what mappers do it to a generic then they give torque figures of 230lb, with a custom and running high boost, probally 23, 1 psi more than the unwritten safe zone for the k03s, itll give you 270lb torque, thats a double the amount. And yer but if the air from the...

The smic themselves will get warm from raditation from within the engine bay. The engine bay is boiling in the audi turbo cars, so if the smic is hot then the air passing through it will get hot, but the cold air coming in does cool it down, but not enough for it to be completly hear soak free...

Ok thats your veiw, but i still believe a fmic is far superior over a side mounted. 22 psi is the safe limit, not like its going to explode if you go over that, just want last as long.

Yer i know, they probally do release an extra 5bhp and make things a bit more responsive but for the money it costs, full turbo back system, i was quoted £600, theres been a few people on the other forum that had a dyno before and after, with no gains atall, more resposnesive, but no gains what...

yer for an hour or so, you would notice the difference by having an intercooler on, its physics. Intercooler away from hot stuff, causing little heat soak, on 180bhp car with inlet temps of 70 degrees, the car would be running at 160bhp or less. Theres a graph somewhere. I dont see how inlet...

A fmic is essential if your planning a remap with high boost, if you have a remap without a fmic, then after an hour or so of driving, or minutes on a boiling hot day heat soak would cause it to fall to its original bhp. So the fmic will give you your engines real power throught out the day, not...

Ohright, yer im planning on running high boost so needs one really, otherwise after heak soak it would probally bog down to 180 again after an hour of driving!.

OOh right..yer thats what i thought aswell, but ohwell all i knows that there doing it for £500 lol Oh right i see, yer im not sure what im going to about that yet. Over on the other forum theres a few a3 boys doing or thinking of doing a fmic on theres, im just going to wait and see what...

Welcome, you would of saved about £500 odd quid if you had waited untill a year of driving. Mine went down £700 on my 306, but then got the quattro and it went straight back up :(... Had £700 left on the 306's insurance though :P. I personally still havnt told my insures about my mods, but...

Cr turbos is the company, really well known with the garages etc, just asked them that i was advised to contact you by a garage ( hes built a 400bhp ibiza so he must know a thing or two about turbos lol) And its not an exchange i dont think. He just said. " if you bring your turbo to us itll be...

I sounds like a well newb in this post lol.!! my knowledge has come so much further from this. I havnt actually done much, only a new panle filter and dv. Oh and uprated my brakes to 312mm, need to bleed them on the week end, so spongy its unreal! On the hybrid, Ive looked into it a bit...

oh right, so if i get the hybrid or k04 ill still need it to be fiddled with to fit, whats the cheaper option,, hard hybrids needs lots of care and that, like special mods etc.

true true, ive heard the hybrids are very hard to fit, if i get a oem one would that bolt directly on, they costs around £600 dont they, is that a diy job, i have no expeience in cars lol, but just swapping old for new cant be that hard.

thanks everyone, i didnt relise that was dear, yer i didnt think that an intercooler could be any better than a cheaper one, as for the fabrication, where could i get this done, and would i show them the forge one and ask for a near on replica of that ? is that an easy swap to, it looks quite...

230 sounds good , but then a fmic doesnt increase power, just prolongs it true , but the turbo ive got only handles 220, so ill need a turbo upgrade anyway, yes im planning to get the s3 or tt injectors to maximise performance. back on topic, id highly recomend the quattro mate, ive had mine...
