And the standard IC is mince when running high boost. Inlet temps of 60'C+ are hardly good.
With the FMIC on they sit around 20-30'C.
I know, i have an FMIC, i also know that with an FMIC the boost reads lower. I was also told by the people that make the turbos that the limit with a K03 is 215-220bhp, and the K03s is about 240bhp

"The boost reads lower"
You mean there is a pressure drop.

Yup, sorry. Im not gonna argue, but id have thought to get anywhere near that figure it would have to be running stupidly high boost. As the engines are almost identical to the A3 engines im very interested as so many people have told me a K03s would only take me to 230bhp, plus with what the turbo makers said aswell. Interesting debate anyway, im hopefully gonna get the boost raised with a custom remap to counteract the pressure drop as im only reading 11psi after the FMIC. Also, i take it the K03s bolts straight on, only needing to get a downpipe made to suit?

On the Ibiza i believe the KO3S fits straight on with only needing a new TIP.
