Check frankenturbo

You can make 140 with the setup you listed. Mine made 150kw with similar setup.

APR tune doesn't require new injectors and neither does oettinger.

You would be safer with new injectors though and be able to make a little more power as it doesnt pull timing to compensate for the lack of fuel

Alrighty. thanks you, you actually answered a future question for me- regarding injectors and APR tunes. etc
you have been very helpful.
So how does you car go???? smile like a split watermelon?

final question- what is the price tag of these s3 injectors and pump??

[vwthunder]

I made 142KW at the wheels, with the Polo K03, apr tune, downpipe, intercooler etc

Dont need a K04 to make that power

The ones at the top of the page are the wrong ones. The genesis ones would probably do you.

You also have to pay for a tune and install if you can't do it yourself.

If you consider a good K03's might be <500 used and a tune for <1000, you wil be close to your power goals with plenty left over to tinker.

Does the car have stock suspension? With more power comes the need to help it stick...

IMO, either a budget job or hybrid. The K04 really is old skool...

[Lawry]

in terms of suspension, im interested in coilovers. There is a great set of cheap coil overs on the ecstuning site for 550 ish. thats handing sorted. Brakes are another option but these will do for now, im not going to be doing any track work.. well any time soon.
I can grab the apr k04 with software, turboback, cold air intake, injectors, pump, intercooler-sidemount, fuel reg, DV, coilovers, necessary piping and clutch for the 5000 ish posted! etc.

how strong are the diffs?

is there anything else im missing, eg sensors such as map....???
any grey areas??

No support from APR here if you buy from the States.

You might need a diff with the K04, but sort that out later

Everything in your list is what you need. APR doesn't call for injectors if I recall correctly. If you're getting injectors, go with a different tuner.

Plenty of headroom in the stock injectors @ 4 bar for ~ 150wkw. If you are going bigger than a K04, you may need to upgrade fuel pump / injectors, but that depends on what the fuel requirements are.

[Lawry]

alrighty. that was a concern for me, if grabbed new injectors how would this affect the software for the Apr k04 tune. So i just leave the pump and injectors out. (means ive got more money to spend on gearbox and/ or handling.
everything ive stated- im hard pressed to see that is would struggle for the 150kw/w.
anyway you guys have been very helpful.
i think ive had all my questions answered... no more spring to mind.

Cheers!!
