No because the k03 housing is machined to accept the bigger parts and re known to out perform a std k04

Yeah modded9n did do the cruise. I helped fit it too
Not heard of them bing hard to map but then I would only go to 2 places.
Badger 5 or R-Tech. Both have no issue mapping for the hybrid as they do a bespoke map for your car. Not plug and play.

No problem. Happy to help

Had mine done by him last yer and he was saying your real cued up on cars! So is your remap a semi custom or fully custom?

Currently running Revo so just off the shelf. As AMD were doing a deal for full turbo back Milltek fitted and Revo map and money was tight I took them up on the offer otherwise I would have gone to Badger 5 or R-Tech.
Once the Hybrid is fitted it will be fully custom.

How much is the mapping costing you?

I've emailed r-tech but heard nothing yet..

Will follow him up next week if I've heard nothing early week

Not sure yet but R-Tech is cheaper but further to drive to for me

Yeah well I'm in reading but if it's worth it I'm game it's only fuel and the drive home will be epic

When do you think yours will be done and ready for mapping?
Will probs be done before mine so using your figs as a bench mark.
Let me know once it's all done a what it's like.

You not mapping straight away?

My turbo should be getting sent away next pay day this month wasn't ideal lol

But I still need injectors.. Got my big brakes from modded (will) so they will be going on as soon as my rx2's are refurbed as my pepperpots are too small for the upgrade

small wheels are going haha

Yeah soon as its all done I will be getting it mapped. Just not sure when it will be completed as time in the garage is my main issue. I'm hopping to have the car done and all back together and mapped by end of April so will see how it goes.

Good to see your doing the brakes. You wi need them with the extra power

Ok so as mentioned time in the garage weekend just gone was going to be non-existent or at the very least limited.

As well as removing the head on Friday after getting out of work early i managed to squeeze in a couple hours Saturday afternoon/evening.

So thought i would do a couple jobs i know i could start and complete.

1. Change MAF sensor over from std housing to 3" housing







And a little peek at my home made turbo intake pipe







Next up i thought i would tackle the 4bar in tank pump conversion.

4bar pump










Then i had to remove the pump from my car





Then i had to make the two pumps become one using bits from both (clean white parts are from original pump - discoloured parts from 4bar pump)















Then fitted back in the tank



More updates soon

Haha! It's going well so far. Interested to see how it all comes together.
