Neuspeed 2.0T K04 Hi-Flow Turbo Discharge Kit

[Drew1982]

Does anyone rate the Neuspeed 2.0T K04 Hi-Flow Turbo Discharge Kit, i am driving Audi A4 Avant 1.8 already at 340bhp - mods already done are:

APR Stage 3+ Kit w. Garrett GT28RS Turbo
APR exhaust with Hi-Flow catalyst -
APR Front Mounted Intercooler -
APR Snub mount -
APR R1 diverter valve -
Carbonio Induction Kit -
Carbonio Engine cover -
19” BBS CH alloy wheels,
TAR.OX 12 piston big brake kit w. 365mm F2000 discs -
ECS rear 300mm big brake kit -
ECS lightweight alloy flywheel + RS4 clutch kit -
Neuspeed short shift kit -
Neuspeed 21mm rear race ARB -
KW Variant 3 coilover kit -
Hofele RS4 look bumper -
Audi S4 side mouldings -
GMBH rear valance
RS4 interior
Cruise control -

Can anyone give me an idea of how much if any horses this will give me, i imagine it will be minimal but looking to try and reduce turbo Lag

Any other quick fix to reduce lag that dont include boring out the 1.8 are greatfully appreciated.

Thanks Guys

That wont fit a 1.8T, its for the newer 2.0T FSi engine...

The people to ask would probably be one of Chris at Regal or a chap at APR whose name I forget - does a GT28RS use a K04 flange?

Sounds like a very interesting little car!

[The Walrus]

Is this for the FSI lump or does it come with the longer throw crank from the 2.0 t FSI lump to give you two litres from the 1.8t lump ? for info they fit in the 1.8t block and if so you will get better spool up but I would have thought loose power as the K04 does not flow enough air to make up the gain in CC's to the Grams per second of air you have from the disco potato.

[Dr G]

Running a GT28RS which should blow a damn sight harder than an 04.

[Drew1982]

Im aware its for the 2.0T but having the GT28R its not the standard size turbo so i thought that it might reflect from the turbo size rather than the actual 2.0l of the engine..

[The Walrus]

You lost me, you thought the K04 Turbo would work better than your Garret ?

[Drew1982]

No, the discharge kit is for the 20t having 1.8 with garret I was hoping that the hi flow discharge kit would fit

Terrably sorry no idea, If you wanted to know about a YB cosworth I'd have known.

Just wanted to says, thats an expensive litle setup. Well done that man !

But

Might I suggest, if you havnt already, a £50 mechanical capilary oil pressure gauge, just to keep an eye on things. I wouldnt trust my engine (if it was worth that much) to an electrical sensor.

for example.

Thanks for the tip, I am looking at a discreet boost/oil gauge but not to sure on what to get yet, I like the look of the digital displayed ones that appear black when the ignition is off! Not sure I want any gauges on the pillar though, slowly but surely looking through what's on offer!

Was thinking up rated fuel pump to be next step but can't see that making much difference if any!

[The Walrus]

The fuel pump is good for 400 bhp and a bit more as long as you have the right injectors, oil pressure and boost pressure gauges are must have's.

As for the high discharge kit god know's as the pipework is very different on the two engines

[The Walrus]

Ah just had a look at what you are talking about and I am assuming you are thinking about replacing the pancake pipe from the hot side with this, talking from experience save your money as it is not that restrictive as people will lead you to believe, as I said get some gauges and look into increasing your grounding in the engine bay as this helps with maintaining power on the VAG cars, there are a couple of how to's on the net for it.

[Drew1982]

Sorry mate pretty new to some of the terminology what u mean by grounding in the engine bay?

[The Walrus]

It is additional grounding as in battery grounding for the earth, you increase the grounding accross the engine bay alternator etc

Have look on this link as there is discussion about it and then so other links to the vortex site.

Cheers mate will have a look
in to that! Think now it's just little things that I need to do, keep it reliable but still have the power! Unless bore it out not sure there is much more I can do!

[The Walrus]

The APR kit is at it's limit or near enough, beyond the boost you are running you start to either crack the manifold or damage the turbo, if you want more power a bigger turbo is the way forward and you have plenty of choice depending on how you like your power.

GT28 - is a good mid range punch kind of turbo
TD05 - As used on the Mitsubishi (sp) EVO's is similar to the GT28 but can give you nearer 400 bhp
GT30R - I have a friend running one with cams 8200 rev limit uprated valves and pistons plus 2 litre crank and modified internals on the cold and hot side on the turbo and that pushed 500 but is not very driveable plus the power only really starts at 4500 but goes to the redline.

But you are talking the best part of 5k for part's plus labour and you will blow gaskets and manifold's once of twice a year.

[Drew1982]

All honesty thnk I have spent enough cash re turbo's etc, so think I will stick with a good regular service for now! Gradually save a bit for rainy day see what comes up in future! Your mates car does seem bit of a beast! Good drills!!

The above link will give you some idea of the speed it has in a straight line at least.

4th gear pull from 80-120 mph.
