Default K04 not anymore?

Hey guys, I was just having a discusion with a friend about turbos and he argued the K04 was not any better than the factory K03 for the 1.8T. In fact, he mentioned there was no dyno plot (posted in VW VORTEX) that showed K04´s are better than K03´s.
What´s your opinion?

Default since K03+100octane = K04 (non-J31/Hammer/PC16) +93octane....I'd say there's a difference

Your friend needs to do a bit of homework.
