K04 & Hybrid **Gurus** only please

[ZeroK66]

I will have to look into the costing of the turbos - if you are right Rob - then this would up my stage one estimate to £5k +Tax vs. about 3k + Tax for a standard K04 upgrade - which suddenly makes me think twice.

I will still choose the hybrid route though - you dont really loose any torque and always have a roadmap to upgrade past the limit of the K04's if ever wanted/needed.

Back to my question above - how is compression lowered - is it a simple head gasket, or is it a little more tricky. I would look at doing this only in my third stage when uprating the inlet (Manifolds, heads etc).

Cheers,

What do you mean "you dont really lose any torque"?

Compression lowering is a thicker head gasket. You can get one from 034 Motorsport at decent price or get one from GUCCI (sorry I mean MTM ;o)
