Car: Silver Fabia (215BHP / 344lbs/ft) |  K04 Upgrades!!
Fancy 280bhp from your 'tavia? At Star Performance we offer a comprehensive range of tuning options for your 20 valve turbo car. Prices range from £999 to £2950 depending on the performance required.
Our K04 equipped Octavia (as displayed on the Skoda stand at the Scottish Motorshow) made a sound 265bhp. This conversion completely transforms the car and turns it into a real flying machine. Recently we performed another K04 upgrade on a Leon Cupra and with the addition of a front mounted intercooler the car made a whopping 278bhp @ 6180rpm and 263lbft of torque. Please contact us for further info. | |

Jim,
Any updates on the APR Stage III?
Guessing it can't be far away...a little bit of me hopes my turbo is breaking up as I type The other half that nees to eat and have a roof over my head isn't.
That said the k04 is a sweet upgrade. I know the difference on the street between mine on the 98 (k03s) and the k04 program.

Eddy I wish I had such a thing as a "usual mechanic". How tricky is it to fit - is there fabrication etc. required?

I'm still a little confused by this.....does the Octy RS have the K03S?
If not is there any benefit of changing to one?
Also there are a couple of K04.....one that fits directly to the manifold and one from the TT (which doesn't fit).
Now is this first K04 the same one that AmD use to do/still do? Originally it was said to give 230bhp.
Just interested and want some clarification as I'm wondering what to do next.

A guy on mkivs had his VW dealer fit it for £200 so an independant should be less.

Tsk! 
Octy RS = K03S
Octy 1.8T (AGU engine not DBW) = K03
K04 should be good for 260 I would have thought... Leeboy would be the man. I don't know about variants of it.

Check out this website for the spec and info of one of our customers cars (Seat Leon Cupra K04) | |

And the chance to drive in Scotlands fine highlands is to me a Unique Selling Point all on it's own
Any chance of an RS6 demo run to Skye?
K04 does make a difference, Paul (red baron) with KO4 and APR program to match kind of leaves me behind...very tempting from £999

Here's the dyno graph from my car that made 278BHP at 1.2 BAR of boost: 
The actual intake temp was 46 degrees, so should make more power if we can get that down a bit! Here's a pic Jim took of my car being worked on, having the Nitrous Express intercooler halo kit fitted!

Now that's what I call a cooling system. Coming from the steel industry you need some serious kit to impress me! | |

What mods do you have to hit 278 on a K04?
