A3 1.8T Quattro upgrade to k04 turbo or not..?

[frithsrich]

Hi Guys
Ive currently got a A3 quattro [180] AJQ engine with amd remap and powerflow exhaust with sport cat running at approx 220bhp, is it worth upgrading to a K04 turbo or not? what would be the expected bhp gains and would i need to upgrade anything else like injectors, fuel pump etc etc ? also is there any down sides? can anyone help.! Thanks

hey mate.

Dont know a great deal about this stuff myself as i'm looking into it myself but i'm sure you'll need bigger injectors. Maybe a better intercooler?

The K04 has a appreciably broader power band throughout the entire rpm range.

I think :S
