Hi All,

How quick would a cupra with a k03s turbo, with a jabbasport remap be do you think?

Kind regards,

Alex

God at 240 bhp in an ibiza, that is going to be seriously quick

Had a look at that link, did not think you would be able to keep up with evos etc, those are seriously quick motors

God they are quick arnt they, to be that quick and I have driven a impreza sti and that was fast.

If i was to put the k03s turbo on what else would you replace at the same time? down pipe 100cel.

What is a forge dv and a forge tip?? I know that forge is the make but what is a dv and a tip??

yes you need turbo back exhaust with sports cat, dv (dump valve), tip (turbo intake pipe) and a front mount intercooler.

k03s ibizas are quick from a rolling start but all that power through the front wheels means it can be hard to get the power down. In the dry its ok but in the wet its a nightmare...I was spinning the wheels at 60mph in 3rd this morning!

ah right, now understand what a 'dv' is and a 'tip' is

god that is a lot of power to spin up the wheels at 60mph

how quick does that feel??

I guess that would be really annoying having all that power and not being able to put it down to the ground.

That would frustrate me so much. Better tyres??????????????

I use toyo's, so not exactly a poor tyre....I can only imagine how bad traction must be with budget tyres! Goodyear GSD's are supposed to be the best for wet conditions, I'll give them ago next time if they are still available.

I found that the "thrill factor" of k03s wares off quite quickly to be honest. It doesn't feel amazingly quick to me anyone, but when you hold your own or embarras a much better car you realise how nippy it is.

do you find that you go through front tyres quickly with that amount of power going through them??

you could go the whole hilt mate but spacers is a good start to settle the car, could go front and rear strut braces as there reletavly cheap and coilovers, uprate your brake pads/discs too best to upgrade that before you get all the power

if you have the money you can go brembo's, anti roll bars, and more,

I was thinking of poly bushing the whole car, coilovers and a front strut brace.

Would anti roll bars make much difference??
