performance chip and tuning in adelaide

[MB123]

Thanks mate

Unfortunately it looks like the numbers do not add up favorably for the route I have taken. I have paid $300 for a used K03s, ~$50 for the various gaskets, crush washers etc, $50 for a silicon TIP... adding to that the tune would amount to a $1250 job. I could have purchased a used K03 that would have been good to fit for ~$300-400.

I've spoken to APR and they say that the car should be okay on their Stage 1 tune with the K03s turbo - there won't be much performance increase but they do not say that it would possibly be terminal for the engine (i.e. running lean, etc)

You would most likely need and ECU as well, due to APRs encryption board. You could sell the APR ecu though and get some money back for that.

You would make a lot more power with a proper tune on the K03s, 210 or more to the 190hp off the K03.
