iceman off the TT forum, seems to know a lot about the new cars coming out but is forever posting spypics/photoshops that are bogus as well as some real gems. Methinks he either likes to play games or he tries to keep someone (his bosses perhaps) of his scent. Have a look for a thread about "corridor talks" on the mk2 forum on tt-forums.co.uk

APR already do what looks like a new K04 upgrade for new k03 cars, looks like OEM bits (manifold and turbine in one). Got a pic somewhere.
From what's known, the new k03 is sort of based on the old k03, but is a new turbo, same as the new k04 (based on old k04, but new). Don't know what's different internally though. There are obvious differences externally (like DV port on the turbo), but the compressor looks tiny. It might be that the turbine is bigger though...
New K04 cars (S3 and a TT) quoted as 260 odd bhp stock.
If the 240bhp motor is a new k03, then logically it will max out at the same as a 200bhp, so if any of my vague speculation is accurate, the new FR and Cupra will both chip to about the same level. Same as GTi and vRS.
Does anyone know anyone at B-W?
