Very impressive stock stats. I hope this doesn’t turn into a SRT-4 car with the owner base and the short life span.

I would re-dyno after each mod in what you would consider a typical mod process to satisfy the fanbois.

Also, interested in stock turbo/fuel system capabilities.

cool, thts what i thought. same as the FSI engines, their’s are driven by the exhaust cam lobe… the HPFP starts to limit power (fuel cut) on the fsi motors and APR developed a fuel pump for them and now they don’t get fuel cut…

i’m really excited to see where you guys take this car :nod

Mike, yup it’s a K04 with a proprietary turbine housing and compressor housing with built in bypass valve(SRT-4 type junk). Max flow ~380 CFM. I have the factory c-map if you guys were looking for it, drop me an email and I can send it your way. Rip that bitch outta there already, it’ll run out of steam quick :lol

Already had a couple people contact me about modifying the stock turbos to hybrid K24’s for them(~540 CFM) but haven’t had anyone follow through. I’d like to see a nice 3071 twinscroll kit or 2871R single volute 😉

Nice to see something unusual going on here…

Its does run out of steam quick. Power delivery is comparable to a stock vw 1.8t.

The ecu and adaptive learning is bizarre. Also runs really lean below 4k.

yeah the k03 on a 1.8t is fun… until about 5800rpm then it is junk.

right now we are booking the second week of july for tuning. give us a call if you want to schedule something. if you want to just load the map we could do that one afternoon.

weve been sending hptuners data from our cobalt, it looks like they should be able to support the new cobalt with the next update hopefully within the next week.

you would need to pay for the 2 credits required to flash your ecu as well just to give you a heads up but that would allow us to tune it anytime in the future for no additional money. im not sure what type of fueling changes you expect that need to be made, im not sure how much time morgan would have to do that immediately, but we can flash the ecu whenever.
