K04 performance

This may be more of a question for the tuners.

Can I push more out of a K04 on the BPY in my GTI if I upgrade the connecting rods?

connecting rods will help those who are going BT, connecting rods make the internals stronger when pushing more power, the K04 will be fine on stock internals, the hp numbers dont get that high off just the k04

k04+ nitrous. some good results have been had before, and for that you would want rods.

I am looking at options.

I have no problem spending the time to put rods in. As you can read, I have lot of Eurojet parts. If I was to look at a BT, I would like to see the Eurojet BT come back, to keep unity under the hood. That could be wishful dreaming.

I drive my car everyday, and after this year I will be pushing more horsepower, to what level I have not figured out personally, but doing rods regardless is for my own personal comfort.


I was think I might be able to push the same horsepower as a TSI on a K04 with some bottom end upgrades.

Currently, the extreme flash is only provided for the Audi S3, ED30 and pirelli edition GTIs, and the SEAT Cupra R. The 200 base hp cars would need to upgrade their rods in order to run the extreme revisions for a long period of time.


We have not tested the extreme files on anything lower than 98RON and they generally make around 400 bhp on the maha dynos.

idk how accurate maha dynos are ...
