Hi. I have just joined the website so firslty hello to all! i just sold my vfr400 today to buy a octavia vrs when one comes up that takes my fancy and was wondering if any1 could help me regarding turbos. i am wanting to put a larger turbo on and have been told the k04 tt turbo fits straight on. is that true? will i need to put bigger injecters, larger intercooler in? i am going to get it re-mapped when turbo is on. and also would any1 recomend buying a bigger after market turbo? cheers

Welcome to Briskoda. Try using Search and you will find plenty of information on turbo upgrades. From what I have read going the gains from using a K04 are not worth the outlay involved.

sorry for asking the same questions as every1 would have already had loads of times but i cant find the answers i am looking for when i search. Basically i want know if a k04 will run properly on my vrs (when i get one) after a remap and bigger injectors. i havnt got a clue appart from information which i have been told from a local guy and that was yes it will work.

Typed K04 into the search box and this came up...

The turbo doesnt just bolt on, you need the manifold, downpipe etc aswell.

thanks for your reply mate. very helpfull.

Crikey you're keen to upgrade it :eek: .

Have you driven a standard one yet?

They go like stink straight out of the factory, and I believe a simple remap and dump valve upgrade make them even more rapid - sounds a lot cheaper and easier than swapping turbos and injectors, unless you're going for the REALLY big power like some on here have .

i have always had quick cars and its only a thought really as my girlfriend gave birth 6 months ago so i need something good looking, fairly cheapish for the amount of car you get (hence octavia vrs) and something with abit of poke as also a toy as i cant afford two cars because its expensive being a dad. i drove one yesterday that was apparantly re-mapped had sports cat, exhaust, k&n etc and i wasnt impressed. it had flat spots and wasnt ticking over right. i will find the right one soon.

if the one you drove was botched up, then its hardly a fair comparison to a working standard one. lol

give it a try first.
