    Is there any chance in the new year you'll be doing some Mk4 down pipe's?

    Or could you make one up to order when i'm ready for it?

    Cheers
    Mark

    Hi Mark, funny you should mention it as we'll be looking at those early next year.
    A forum member kindly PM'd me regarding these earlier in the year. Are you after 3" pipework?

    I'm only running the bog standard k03 but will be looking for a larger turbo so a 3" will be good for me as i will be going at least K04 after xmas if i can find a good one

    Cheers

    We were planning on making a 3" downpipe for K03 style (4 stud) to start with. This seems to be popular in the States. The K03 and K03s' style turbo practically spools on the starter motor so the scavenge effect isn't really missed when the turbo spools even quicker!
    That's first, but then we may have a look at K04 style (3 stud) fitment.
    Have you considered going the hybrid route on your existing turbo?

    I have seen that you can fit the K04 internals into a K03 shell but its about 500-600 which seems a bit steep tbh, but they get about 300bhp lol

    I'd deffo consider a K03 fitment down pipe and could even give you the car to use as a base to work from if you needed.

    You may be lucky enough to find a pre-loved one?
    Thanks for the offer :)
