Default K04 upgrade

When upgrading to a K04 turbo, are there any other mods needed, other than the turbo itself, to ensure performance and/or reliability?<p>A4 1.8T QMT

Default Yes!

I was told by AWE tuning and PES that it would also be better for you to upgrade exhaust. They recommend a cat-back to ensure the free flowing exhaust emissions due to increased combustion.<p>www.MBnz.org

Default Don't forget to get proper chip tuning!!!! aslo..........

PES uses larger injector in their kit and AWE uses a 5 bar fuel pressure regulator.
The objective of both is to get mor fuel under boost. You don't want to go lean!
You need the proper air/fue; ratios and spark advance map for all to work properly.

NOT a sinple bolt in K04 & go.........do your homework..........search the archives
