Looking for a used K03 or K04 turbo - K04 opinions

![Default](https://www.audiworld.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
My K03 wastegate (1997 w/ 118k) finally ate itself. Anyone have a used replacement they are looking to sell.
Also, I would consider a K04 upgrade if it can be swapped to my girlfriends '01 A4 when we go to sell my 1997 in a year.
What is the final verdict on the K04 reliability? There is tons of information out there but all of it seems fairly old. I cannot drop $2-5k for bigger/better turbo kits but might be able to swing $1500-$2k.
Thanks to all,
Lorin

"stg3" or a k04. k03 replacement would be silly unless you find someone's used one after an upgrade. if you're looking to spend a lot, then do the k04. if you're getting a full kit, get the giac from induktion.
