ive raced a ko4 with my is38...it was no competition...cant provide whether it was driver error or what but it was a slaughter by my is38
How you liking the new turbo smart bov? Notice a difference? Thinking about getting the dv version once hybrid bt
I know it's not necessarily a "vs" but I'm comparing my is38 GTI to my previous mk6 ko4 GTI and holy smokes there is a huge difference up top. The video is just before the kickdown switch, so pedal is not 100% all the way to the ground and I don't let the shifts go much into redline...This video was when I was still breaking in the car. (I installed IE rods/pistons for my mk7) These is38 turbos pull strong for an OEM turbo. For comparison I have an old video of my mk6 ko4 doing a 60-145mph pull.
Mk7 80-140mph ~13-14 seconds
Mk6 80-140mph ~19-20 seconds

I literally just copied and pasted this from the mk6 gti forum. Here's a link to that thread:

Curious how much the pistons and rods cost for both parts and labor? Also, why did you do it?
I had k04 on my mk5, running Apr tune . No comparison to is38. You'd be better off comparing to an is20. Stage 2 is20 is as fast, if not faster than a previous generation with the k04.
My car is night and day from my mk5. Different league.
Mk5 was also running pre and post throttle body meth with a twintercooler, intake, turboback, and the 100oct file.
