Hi Madhav could you tell me who is the shop that modified your K04.
I'm very often in Thailand for my work. About 8 time per year.
Did they implement the dump valve in the cold side core?like on APR K04 or Loba Loco
The work they did on the K04 was very simple, as explained on the previous page. Just basically cutting and welding a pipe. Anyone can do it. For the DV valve, it wasn’t integrated so had to relocate it, I just used a Unitronic relocation kit. I watched them fit it in about 30 min.
The shop is in Surat Thani in the south, but I personally would not recommend this shop as they are not so familiar with custom stuff and are better with basic service requirements and fitting stock parts.
I have used other people to do custom work on my old car (A31 céfiro with 2JZ single turbo) and they were amazing and did awesome work for very good prices. The Thai people have retrofitted the 2JZ into so many cars here. However for import cars Euro cars like the VW golf fitted with the 2.0 TSI engine, it’s a bit harder to find people who are experienced and will modify. I have found a few shops that do it, but only around bangkok (8hrs drive from me) and none in the south.
