You can send a k03 too. With supporting mods you can see 280-300bhp

That would be roughly £1500 all-in Damo?

Yea, I was just pointing out that its not £1500 just for the hybrid mate :)

I'm thinking of going for a CR Turbos K03S hybrid with mapping to suit, LCR MAF tube, bigger TIP, BAM injectors and a front mount cooler, hopefully that will be good for about 285bhp.

I'm going to do the same myself, I've a front mount already so on the look out for the rest of the bits needed.

James,

Its the one that Benny just had fitted to his Ibiza. I think you actually send your turbo to them for "hybridisation" (is that a word?), with mapping its about £1500.

I emailed CR earlier in the week, £495 to upgrade your own turbo, £695 for an exchange unit :)

Off the top of my head,

Turbo back exhaust
High flow exhaust mani
FMIC
LCR/TT TIP
LCR/TT injectors
Air filter to suit

Happy days :) Looks like my runabout Golf mk3 will be doing some miles :D

I must apologise to the OP, I seem to have taken this thread horribly off course :redface:

If you went for a uni FMIC then you could get one for ~£200.
Mapping - CC3 or Badger5 stage 3 is cerca £600.
LCR/TT TIP ~£100.
LCR/TT injectors - at a guess £200.
Miltek turbo back exhaust - cerca £700.
High flow mani - cerca £200.
Second hand k03 - cerca £50-100 then another ~£500 get it made into a hybrid.

Yea, sorry to the OP for going off topic.

why the k03, i have a ko3s on now, or are we talking flogging my ko3s?

No. You can send CR Turbos a k03 or a k03s to make into a hybrid. So buy a second hand k03 for next to nothing, send it off for hybrid treatment then sell your k03s once its all sorted.

You will make some cash back (k03s's go for £150-200) and it means you dont have to take your car off the road while waiting for your hybrid ;)
