Had the Bora mapped and RR'd..

[_Tom]

Now the fmic is on it was time for another remap. I have gained a shed load more torque and drives so much better now. I didnt realise how bad the inside edge was on my tyres though so it kept slipping in the rollers as it came on boost. Needless to say i have new tyres now so will have to go back for more tweakes.

Best it made power wise, feathering the throttle when it comes on boost slightly was 196.7bhp at the wheels with 267 ft/lbs. The fly figures were all over the place. 210, 220 so i've been advised to ignore them which tbh i do anyway.

Time for a hybrid turbo me thinks.

Must be nippy enough now!

I suppose something's got to keep you awake...

 

[JD]

What map and where Tom?

 

[JonniP]

what engine is it? looks good

 

[Englebert]

Sounds like a great result there!

Are you going to do any stealth mods to the FMIC then? Would really finish it off i reckon.

What's the interior like in it Tom?

 

[JD]

Presuming a 1.8T?

 

[_Tom]

Its a 1.8 20vt with a K03s.

Was mapped at Badger5 in Gloucester. Its a Revo stage 2+ which is a custom map rather than generic. Took him bloody hours to do but he's a 20v guru.

The intercooler is all black with the standard grills in now. Nobody notices it which is great. The interior is the same as the late spec Golf GTi's.

My mate has the red centred Recaros he's trying to sell me though. I think it'll be too much red though so i was Accord Type R recaro's in the front.

 

[JD]

Bill FTW, thought I recognised the workshop. I've been following his work on a few BT/Hybrid turbo S3s.

So FMIC, presume 3" down pipe and cat back is on or next step as well?

 

[mr bognor]

Sleeper i but its fun on the road

The guy is a hero. He just loves cars especially vags. He always has about 4 20vts in having big turbo's fitted. I swear he just does it for the love.

It already has a 3" down pipe. I have a straight through centre section with the standard back box. No restrictions but quiet also. Bill said tbh the standard back box is fine until around the 300 mark.

Other mods are obviously fmic, 4 bar fpr, forge tip, filter etc. Basically i cant do anything else to the baby K03s..

 

[JD]

Interestingssss. Gone down the 4bar, rather than increase the sprayers? Presume that would be necessary for a Hybrid? What are you thinking?

Bill says a standard S3 exhaust is fine for 300 as well, seem to be good - as you've said, the restriction is the DP.

 

[Rob]

I really like the interior on that, infact I really like the car.

Very nice, bet it goes now too.

Yeah mate certainly shifts for what it is. The interior is a nice place to be too. Gotta have your armrest..haha!

I had to raise it for the rollers. This is how it normally sits -

Yeah only a 4 bar for now. Injectors are needed for a hybrid though. I'm just going to get mine rebuilt to hybrid spec. Its basically a fettled K04 in a K03s skin so should be good for 280ish. Thats more than enough for a fwd tbh..

 

[JD]

19s Tom? Lovely colour

Anyhoo, it's great the way they can rehouse these turbos to allow for the Hybrids. A chap on Audisport.net has creeped to 318 on a hybrid K04s turbo. The interesting thing is (and ask Bill to have a gander next time you're around), he saw a massive jump (think it was 15bhp) with a Badger5 fabbed TIP!

Just needs a WMI kit to see him that little bit higher!

 

[Luke.]

Good Results mate

Im looking for a KO3s for mine but they are quite rare because they are so easy exchange for a KO3!

If you know of one going then let me know

 

[JD]

You can send it off to CR Turbos Luke, but unsure on costings.

[_Tom]

No theyre 18 x 8.5. Everyone seems to think theyre 19's..lol! Couldnt be doing that.

Yep hybids are the future and Bill at badger is the man! Take your car to him and you will understand. Its almost like he's working on a mates car. He's so chilled, will answer anything, doesnt rush. He can fabricate ANYTHING. He's just a legend and you dont find service like that anymore.

I dont think there's any single man in the UK with the knowledge he has. His ibiza is mental. There was a Polo GTi in the with 460bhp which he's built. He's made over 10 500bhp reliable 20v's..lol

 

[JD]

Was it a Polo? There was chatter about a 460 break MK2 Gold

 

[dalla]

That is very nice

 

[_Tom]

Was it a Polo? There was chatter about a 460 break MK2 Gold

Yeah it was a polo. The lad requested it to break 400bhp and even with a moddest map it was making 460..lol! The blokes a hero. His ibiza made 400 at actuator pressure..lol

He did have a red MK2 Golf in there with a huuuge turbo and lovely inlet being fitted when i was there. And another cupra..

 

[Gaz.]

Black FMICs rule. Not a bad power output at all.

 

[hollandcup]

Car looks very nice indeed, bet you surprise a few once rolling.

Is the K03s from the mk4 anniversary golf??

 

[_Tom]

You know it! I need to do me mikalors but it hardly stands out now its all black -

Yeah it does shift. The K03s is small so boosts up quick too. Its used on the Anni's yeah.

 

[Dink]

do like the stealth fmic:evil:

where to is this guy? sounds like someone who could get a little more out of my polo

Where's it to? Taking the piss of my fine accent? haha

He's in Gloucester mate...http://www.badger-5.com/ The website looks from the 70's but ignore that. Go to his workshop and marvel at the big turbo's, inlets everywhere and about 10 nice cars having major engine work..haha
