so is the K03s upgrade a waste of time?
Being blunt yes, ko3 is a waste of time and money ! Hybrids work but they are un-reliable and they don't do more than 270 Bhp even on transverse engines...For real 250-300 Bhp i would look no further than a gt28rs, reliable, and with even more potential + low end spool and torque as standard !
Too expensive, i'd need bigger injectors, FMIC, New Manifold, New Downpipe, New Map plus the GT28RS I bet that's the best part of a Grand without labour costs, Not gonna throw that money at a car only worth £2,500 at the very most.
If The K03s only gives me about 20hp more then the money I can get it for is worth it in my eyes. if it were £200 then i'd not even think about it. i'm seriously considering getting it as it will take the car to the power i'm looking for. If I want to go Higher than 240bhp then I think I will be looking at getting a newer car or even an S4. I went and looked at one the other day that was 400bhp but it was really high mileage and looked like it was owned by someone that thrashed the pants off it all the time so I passed on it.
You'll have to settle for some stick on go faster stripes and a whip aerial :biglaugh:

All going well I should get my car back tonight. Been hell not having her since Thursday!!!
the end went for the stage 2 Black Diamond Clutch & LUK flywheel. Also had a seal replaced on the gearbox as it was apparently leaking. All this supplied and fitted for £845 so I'm pretty happy with that, I was expecting slightly higher.
Nope!!!
tomorrow now. A seal had gone on the gearbox so needed replacing and didn't turn up till late this afternoon!!!
Just on my way to pick her up. I'm actually pretty excited, not driven her for a week now and I'm quite excited to see if the stage 2 clutch and New flywheel puts the torque down better than the OEM one. May feel a bit more power :)
Got the car back. No difference with the way the power feels :( not sure what I was expecting lol. It feels a lot lighter than what I was expecting from a Stage 2 clutch (which is nice). I'm not getting the intermittent shudderring whilst driving now so it shows the clutch must've been slipping more than I thought, I assumed the very slight "on/off" of the power (very slight) was a set up issue but it must've been the clutch slipping in the lower gears.
Overall I'm very happy with it, and glad to have her back.
