One of my mates has bought a Clio 197 and has offered me his Ibiza Cupra for a good price.

Had a small fortune spent on it, seen 240bhp on the rollers.
Frount Mount w/ hard piping.
KO3S Turbo, Decat back exhaust.
Jabbasport Map (Stage 2 i think)
Coilovers & Cupra R wheels.

It's an 02 plate, he bought it standard, it's been well looked after.

Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on them & any common faults.

As it stands it requires a new MAF, i'm wondering if it needs upgrading to an LCR one due to the map?

As far as i know a K03s doesnt have enough puff to hit 240?

Coil packs are common, always kept a couple spare in the golf. Stopped me being stranded a couple of times.

think it does i think you might be getting mixed up with a k03 which is standard then it goes KO3s then KO4s

yeah coilpacks are very common had one go on me this week had to drive 9 miles home with it being broke

taken from a vag site

so they run them like this :- model, standard power, max power
KO3 standard power=150bhp max power=190bhp
KO3s standard power=180bhp max power=220bhp
KO4 standard power=220bhp max power= 260bhp

Didnt think they could do 240 as i was looking into it when i had my anni turbo.

They are all pretty conservative, a k04 with a remap,3"tip and exhaust will be over 260. The k03s also benefits from having a better exhaust manifold than the k04. That said I do think 240 is possibly dyno lottery,220/230 would be more realistic but you never know with the 20v, there can be a lot of natural variance.

KO3s will have been 180bhp

So that's 60bhp from remap / exhaust / fmic

Can't see it more like 215bhp - 220bhp

used to have one of these, quite a few people have hit 230-250bhp on stage2 with the Ibiza's archie, you'll probably find the boost will tail off pretty quickly though at that sort of power
