why K03S ?

[dejmos]

hi
i'm new here and just found nothing with the search... sorry for the new thread !
why does everybody fit a K03S turbo instead of a garret GT2X kit or K04
advantages K03S instead of K03 ? just 20-30 bhp more? just want to upgrade in winter on gt2x... please clear me up

sorry for my bad english, i'm from germany
drivin' a tear of the sun, a mk3 ibiza cupra @ ~200bhp; forge dv006, forge silicon hose, Bastuck muffler, 17" O.Z. Ultraleggera with toyo proxes T1-R and H&R cup-kit

Cost possibly!

Whats the basstuck exhaust like? I've been quite interested in them.

 

[dejmos]

i like the sound of this exhaust really
this is a link to a soundmovie:

Soundfile Bastuck @ K03 Turbo

so much work for just 20 bhp hmm okayyyyy
K04-001 fits also on the monifold of the mk3

greets

 

[biggaz]

Sounds sweet that!

 

[Forbez]

I got no sound in work! Will have to wait until i'm home.

It does fit, but on UK right hand drive cars it doesnt clear the steering rack thats why very few UK ibiza's have a K04.

ah ok !
im learnin'

direct swap, thats why, k03s spools up quicker and holds power longer

its not just the fact of an extra 20-30bhp it holds boost till gear change pretty much unlike the noticable tail off the ko3 suffers from, also the ko3s is a simple upgrade which wont cost anywhere near what a gt28 costs generally, i'd like a ko3s as the car drives a lot better than standard and seems effortless power where as the ko3 seems like your killing it when accelerating, these are just my views however, see if anyone local would take you out in one of each, you might be happywith ko3s and save some cash, daz

That exhaust sounds pretty mean

can you get me a dozen at that price mate

im running a ko3s and it performs well but dont expect a good top end blow it still runs out of puff too early as it is....lets face it....tiny

but its definatly a good upgrade over standard for what they cost

Lol damn right at the pricxe, Ill buy 50

If K03s doesnt do it for you but you still want stock like fittment/characteristics etc... consider something like our K04 hybrid

since a recent conversation i have mate

didnt realise untill after i had purchased it this was possible

my current plan is to stick with it but have a nitrous kit with progressive controller for later rpm to get my higher rpm boost of power.

what do you think of this idea as no doubt you have had experience
what can the ko4 hybrid do for me in terms of power and the overall difference in driving characteristics over ko3s as it will be a smiler amount of dosh to the nos kit from WON?
well nothing stopping me having both
