such a difference,,

I was worried the map wouldnt be good enough for it, but its brilliant, pulls loads better low down and the boost holds sooo much stronger and longer!


love it..




any estimates on what power and torque id be running with the following....


CUSTOM FMIC
FORGE T.I.P
OO7 FORGE DV
KO3S TURBO
POWERFLOW CAT BACK
AMD STAGE 1 REMAP
JABBASPORT INDUCTION KIT

Yep. Its only a little bit bigger than the k03 and the thing that restricts the turbo the most is the volume of air it shifts. You have a forge tip allowing more air on the intake side but the standard downpipe is v.restrictive. If you change that then I would expect more.

Also depends on your map.

The fmic wont give you anymore bhp just help keep the power there longer and cat back exhaust will be minimal if any improvement in power.

I wouldnt have expected the power to have increased that much.. i think you'd need a stage 2 remap for that!

Will boost longer though :)

the power increase is awesome, seriously, I wasn't expecting anything like this..


seems to spool faster and boost is soo much harder and sooner..

and il agree with the boost holding..
