[manny2206]

I am interested in seeing dyno figures.. Hyde16 delivering great reviews once more!.

$240.. wow.

Soon, we will all be running the same car as HYDE.
Great review, I love these type of upgrades.

See build thread in signature to get started lol.

Yes...mucho expensivo.

but once you have K04 and all that money invested... whats another $240 for fine tuning.. i think thats the key.

That's where I'm going with this.....K04, then polished and ported, then ceramic coated and turbo blanket. Next up, HPA intake manifold.

the ported and polished K04 is what im jealous of. i remember what that would do to engines back in the day..

Photos are done for that review but I'm not posting anything until the K04 is re-installed the car and logs are taken.

Are you just going to use an OTS tune?

 

[HYDE161]

Correct, I want to see how it reacts and then have adjustments made if necessary.

I give you some serious props for the execution, however I'll be surprised if this does much at all for you. Especially considering the money spent. I hope I eat these words however, as I'd love to see very tangible gains from this.

I recently ceramic coated all my APR stuff (manifold + dump tube), but admittedly I did it to make them look nice.

The coating makes it look way better but I'm hoping the exhaust manifold porting will allow it to spool faster.

didnt read whole thread, but can this be installed with the turbo still in the car?
