Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

                        • Finally finishing read every bit of this thread.

                          Time to contribute, installed BMC Panel filter & Seat PD160 kit last night; too much traffic havent been able to test it yet

                          Giac ecu flash 2 weeks away and then the modification journey starts Would be happy with 150kw atw's (need a bigger turbo i think?)

                          • 150 atw is probably a K04, but I would not bother with that and go straight to a Garrett. Either be prepared to spend more than 5k if you can't do it yourself for retail pricing.

                            Def worth getting a ride in a worked K03 to see if that will satisfy, or hold off on the flash and talk to Gav at CC.

                            I hope you do, we are in need of some more big build threads.

                                I'm having my K04 put in my car next week, wouldn't have cost me any more than $2500. If your thinking of going down the chip route, I'd source yourself a K04 and then get the tune from GAIC to suit. Rather than wasting money on a tune that your going to replace 12 months down the track when you decide to get a K04, or if you have in upwards of 10k, a gt28.
