Default How many people running K04? Pros and Cons?....

Also what other mods do you have with it? Looking for a new turbo, but nothing to outrageous. I dont need a stage 3 on my everyday driver.

Default Pros - it doesn't require a lot of other mods to support. Cons - it's not a big jump in power

unless you get an aggressive K04 program, in which case you'll need a better intercooler and exhaust.

Default Pros: More fun. Cons: Decreased MPG.

I had an upgraded (Southbend) clutch, FMIC (ER), test pipe (Labree), and cat-back (APR) along with the GIAC PC-16 program and 310cc redtop injectors.

whatever the standard K04 file is for your model year. Unless you want to get a FMIC

Would the file change if a FMIC is used or just the fact of the FMIC for more power?

Default the file would be different. You should search about the options for your model year

you'll find plenty of pros and cons regarding certain setups. The year of your car is an important detail, as the ECUs and tuning options are different between engines.
