K03s boost levels?

[Black TDI Turbo]

Hi im fitting my k03s tomorrow and i am wondering what boost level i should expect, My car hasnt been mapped as of yet so after what i have read i should be alright for me to drive around with it on unmapped. I have the following engine mods 007 Dump Valve, N75J Valve, Smoothed AirBox With 4" CAI, BMC Panel Filter, Red silicone vacuum piping, and Custom FMIC. What sort of boost should i expect when ive fitted the turbo? i would have thought only slightly higher until i get it mapped. Any help will be much appreciated.

its not gonna be anything special on standard map

might see slightly higher levels...8/9psi, prob spool up quicker and last longer

however surprised your choosing to go k03s before exhaust system..

Same as what your seeing now.


A bit arse backwards innit fittin a k03s and no dp/exhaust etc?

yeah will be about 8/9 psi.. thats what mine was showing before mapping.. nothing special but mine made 185 with the k03s before mapping but then i had the full exhaust and other bits too

It was just that i managed to get the turbo really cheap and very low mileage so i bought it, im going on holiday next month and car insurance was just paid for now tax m.o.t and service, i work in a ford garage and theres no work in tomorrow so i can fit it then, ill be getting exhaust before map i think but just wanted to know if it was going to be alright running around in it and if any higher boost levels or performance on standard map thats all, cheer for the info guys.

K03s REALLY needs the bigger DP+CAT and exhaust system, otherwise still the poor 1.8T is being very much strangled with the standard kit on

whatever you do, dont get the car mapped before these mods are in place....or its a bit pointless getting the car mapped

dont get me wrong the gains will be of course bigger and the spool a bit better, but still the power will only be held up the rev range the same as the K03 almost because of these strangle points

Well ive fitted it today at work and after finding my vacuum pipe to my boost gauge split causing a loud hissing noise everything spot on, Took the car out and it feels like it pulls harder but holds boost alot higher. Pretty pleased with it as it was very cheap and the gaskets were only bout £13 from seat
