Phase 3

Phase 3 has the addition of a Forge front mounted intercooler and an ATP exhaust manifold.

The ATP replacement manifold is also built to flow much much better than the stock unit. Overall flow has been improved more than 50% and virtually ALL of the restrictions built into the stock unit has been removed in this replacement design, resulting in more HP and torque. The additional benefit of using this high flow, thicker wall, cast unit over the stock unit is the ability to improve breathing at the exhaust ports as well as providing the necessary exhaust volume to maintain high boost/high RPM operation. The free flowing design also helps keep the EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) and subsequently engine temps down to allow more timing and less detonation.

Phase 3 is the maximum that can be obtained on the standard K03s turbocharger, around 250 bhp is seen from the conversion

I've said it in another thread, but I'm happy with the way my car is for now and so is my wallet. A car is different things to different people but mine has to do everything from ferry kids about, taking a family holiday, the occasional track blast and an everyday work tool so although it would be nice to go the next step (and it is tempting!) it aint going to happen for me :(

Massive horsepower is certainly possible with these kits, but the KO4 looks a safer route imo and I look forward to a spin in one soon

More is possible, the KO3 has seen 285bhp wrung out of it but the injectors and wastegate duty cycle are at the very limits of it's capabilities.

what would you rate the reliablilty of that derv stage 3?

Lloyd you are talking about 1.8T products in a thread about a 2.0TFSi kit.

I think you are confusing yourself and other readers as Steve is talking about the KO3 as fitted to his TFSi.

:orb_bonk:lol oh yeah, its kinda had a twist lol lol

my bad lads

what would you rate the reliablilty of that derv stage 3?

250bhp is attainable relatively easily now what with the introduction of uprated high pressure fuel pump internals. Quite a few are running power levels similar to that and beyond quite happily with other software and modifications, but as for the Derv Doc I'm affraid I have no experience of it but very intersted to see anyone that has it successfully tuned to their car

Edit: Ah you've been on about the 1.8T Llloyd , that said I thought that the Derv Doc had released software for the 2.0TFSi?

It is a very much everyday car with the K04, i do approx 1100 miles per week. Fuel consumption is marginally better in everyday driver mode as well.

Its like you said steve when in everyday use you got to keep it sensible(ish)
