AWE Turbo K04 kit, or make my own?
This is what Im thinking of now, get the AWE K04 kit or put together my own K04 kit, not really for money savings, as it won't be much, but for different software. Is there better K04 software out for the K04, but if there is, is it available for my 01.

Re: it's so funny watching you post... reminds me...
Where can I get Dahlback software?
Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate the time you took to explain all of this to me.

they have various dealers too.
i got my chip from them, $600
dahlback unlike giac has an upgrade option. they claim 280hp/340tq on a modified k04 (k04.028 they call it?), but it also costs wayyyy too much. all of their stuff comes at a premium price, quality stuff, but not worth it for a $10,000 car. i'd rather go for a gt28rs/revo tune, much more cost effective and possibility for more power.
but for sure no one else tunes 1.8Ts as well as they do, 420hp on stock internals. they even have a 500hp+ kit. i don't know of any other tuner that produces kits for our cars rated at that much power. granted they do send you a new engine.

Sweet! I have a dealer in my state
You have any more specs on the Dahlback> HP and TQ? Dyno sheets?
Thanks again!
Oh, and got a link to the K04 kit they have? I'm just wanting to see it, wish I had money for it though, lol.

What makes you say the 420 hp 'kit' uses stock internals?
from Dahlback.se ... "New E-proms in ECU, optimization of flow to intercooler, new turbo, exhaust manifold, wastegate, intercooler, injectors, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, camshafts, crankshaft, piston rods, pistons, oil cooler, clutch, flywheel, air filter, modification of air filter housing and charge air hoses and pipes, extra engine mounts, modification of crank case breather, porting of cylinder head, 2 x race cats, stainless steel exhaust (turbo-back). "
I would think "camshafts, crankshaft, piston rods, pistons" ... and "flywheel" being replaced would be pretty obviously not 'stock internals'.
