and I get my car back tomorrow

so now my 180 TT is kind of a 225 TT

:]

but yea I was wondering if I should save up to add anything to my car in the near future to accommodate the new horsepower
I know the 225 has 2 intercoolers but im not sure if im going to bother with that
and Im pretty sure our audi engines are good for at least 300 horse power
but yeah if anyone has any legit other suggestions/ information
I'd like to hear it, I want my car to be and stay in tip top shape


that and i was wondering if there was any way to make the boost a little higher without having to buy anything.. I doubt it but its worth an ask as well

 

so you got a new manifold and downpipe along with that turbo i assume?

 

sadly though ive been without my Black Pearl for a little over a week now
cant wait to have her back

was suppose to get it back last thursday after bringing it in last tuesday then i called thursday and they said they accidentally broke a fuel line and had to special order and it wouldnt get in till monday, so i wouldnt get my car until monday, then i call monday and they hadnt received the fuel line so they said tuesday then they got it tuesday but had ordered the wrong gaskets so im getting her tomorrow Hopefully Finally haha what a mess, dunno if Im going to trust them to work on my car anymore

 

...haha sooo did you get a new manifold and downpipe too?

if so... why not have upgraded to something more than k04?

 

nope didnt do that Yet

because i dont have the extra cash at the moment

good thing the K04-001 has the same bolt on as the K03
or i would be spending more then id want to at the current moment

would like to get everything ported and polished

 

interesting... wonder what kind of gains one would see from ko3s to a ko4

 

i just got the K04-001 out of a wrecked 225 TT at a junk yard 30miles away only has 28000ish miles on it
dad has a friend that works there so he gave me a heads up that they had the TT there
so it was only $215 plus tax to get it :] but the manual labor to have the local shop put it in will add to that

 

wonder if this will have an effect on my revo chip now that I think about it... I hope not

 

theTTkid

I could just go back to the junk yard and grab the manifold and downpipe from the junk car too couldnt I?
or is it really not that much of a difference and not worth the extra hassle?

 

This is very interesting to me. So, what all needs to be done to put that new turbo on? I already have a 3 inch DP. If I go buy a k04 what else do I need to get to throw it on there?

Or, should I save up for a bigger turbo?

So, prices and parts plz. Thanks.
