Lemmingwinks can be used with any sw, even stock tuning (ask bondga). Unitronics also just came out with their version of lemmi also. It can be downloaded in the 1.8t section on vortex. Many people have claimed it was easier to get to work (no pulling fuses and other tricks needed) like lemming sometimes needs..

Where can I find this??? Where is the 1.8t section and what is vortex?

Cool thanks man, does anybody know what kind of hp the K04 would put me at when just bolted on with factory software?

about 5-10 more than before

from borg warner

"thank you for your interest in our products.
First of all, we don't produce any turbo that we call K03S. But I hope I can
answer your questions with the following explanations.
All the following turbos have the same installation dimensions and
thermodynamical performance. The differences are only in the actuator that
opens the turbine bypass valve:
K03-011 (5303 988 0011) 150 hp, 65 N actuator
K03-026 180 hp, 85 N actuator
K03-035 180 hp, 85 N actuator
K03-044 150 hp, 65 N actuator
K03-045 156 hp (Ibiza Cupra), 85 N actuator with 2 ports
K03-049 150 hp (Sharan/Alhambra), 65 N actuator
The 180 hp versions have an actuator with a higher opening force due to the
higher exhaust gas pressure (which is a consequence of the higher boost
pressure). Otherwise the valve would be pushed open by the exhaust gas
pressure.
The following turbos are a further development (since 2000) and have an
improved and slightly larger compressor while using the same turbine (still
with the same installation dimensions):
K03-052 180 hp, 85 N actuator
K03-053 150 hp, 85 N actuator
K03-058 150 hp/180 hp, 85 N actuator
Consequentially, putting a 180 hp turbo on a 150 hp engine will not bring
about any change in performance, but putting on a K03-052/053/058 instead of
the older versions will bring a slight improvement in engine efficiency.
Additionally, with re-mapping the ECU you can achieve about 215 hp without
danger of overspeeding the turbo. With the older turbos, 195 hp is the
limit.
With the K04 that's also commonly used (5304 950 0001) the power output
should not be more than 220 hp. That means, changing a K03-052/053/058
against a K04 does not make a lot of sense.
I hope that these details answer your questions. If you need more info, one
of our service distributors will be glad to help you. Their addresses are on
our website http://www.turbodriven.com.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Best regards,
BorgWarner Turbo Systems GMBH"
-As for compression maps, if you look hard enough on the internet you might find some..."

wow so your tellin me that i'll really only get about 5-10 more hp with the turbo and no software, how bout doing the diode mod? I know you seemed to have mastered this, just wondering your opinion...

man, thats a nice write up...

If you have a ko3s i would say keep the ko3 chip and getting a adj fpr. But going from a ko3 to a ko4 will be a bigger jump. You can make it work, but specific sw and fueling would give you better results than just increasing turbos and fuel pressure. You can always give it a shot, but i wouldnt risk it without a way to monitor a/f ratios.

^ like he said i said.

If you can monitor a/f ratios, then go for it. You can upfuel with lemmi/uni sw and also with an adjustable fpr.

If you just got bigger injectors and chipped the car would that give you more power? or would bigger injectors do nothing?

diode mod should in theory work for a k04. you would need to ge the compressor maps for each turbo and compare them. determine the percentage change in air at the specific boost you want to run. then use that percentage to determine the percentage of fuel that would need to be added to keep your a/f ratio at stoich or below. then use lemmi to adjust the fuel as calculated. get bigger injectors and use limmi to limit there input( will take a while to get it right) 5 bar fpr, exhaust would help and a fmic. the only problem is that you would ren lean here and there because of differentturbine sizes but if you use a g-pop shop k04 the turbine is the same size soeverything should work fine. NOTE: this would be a major change in the cars air flow. you need to make sure your maf and o2 sensor are in tip top shape or you couldsee some bad problems.
