engine ko3s

[daza b cupra]

i,ve managed to get a engine 180 bhp with ko3s aum i think.
i,ve spoken to mechanic tonight an he,s told i need to fit my ko3.
as will not run right without a remap on the ko3s.
is this right ?
he,s told me to keep hold of untill i,m gettin remapped

In my opinion it will run fine, at most you may get engine light on with overboost fault by i reckon it will be no problems.

Back in the day when i upgraded to K03s i was already running revo stage 1, i then took a trip too star performace for a custom map, and he he said he couldn't better it.

My point being, no map was adjusted when i fiited mine and it was great.

absolute bollocks. I have run my k03s for about 7 months now and no remap. You notice very little different with k03 except maybe that it spools slightly quicker but that might be between the ears. Mechanic doesn't know what he's talking about.

Ive recently fitted a k03s but having problem to find a tuner (norway thou) to remap my car to suit k03s so im currently running MTM chip stg1 for my old k03 at the moment. Havent hit the throtle yet as Im afraid to go lean. Would I be at any risk if I took her for a ride and gave her some juice????

Ok here's my opinion:

No you would be fine.
The k03 and K03s aren't that much different. Basically the k03s allows you to keep boost just a little bit longer. What people forget that go for stage 2 on K03s and hit more than on stage 1 with k03 is that you upgraded more things to go with it (fmic, full catback, DP, etc) then they hit 40hp more and say its the turbo...

So I would say if you hooked it all up properly then go for a real drive! see if you notice the difference.

Thanks for the info Reuvers...
Will take her for a spin then, a bit carefully thou. Im quite eager to test as I did A&M k03s, A&M exhaust, miltek turboback, forge fmic, forge tip, spec 3+,pelaquin, VF-fast road and other goodies a week ago Havent had the car over 3000rpm yet as I was a bit afraid of going lean...
I haven´t install the 4bar fpr yet, as I´ve heard it depends on the map/software...

4bar fpr will be needed only when you go to stage 2. Usually they are installed at the tuners.

not all maps needs the 4bar fpr, mine didnt on a stage 2, but dont fit one unless your getting it mapped in
