Default turbo leaking oil, replacement options??
so, it looks like i will need to replace my turbo soon on a 99.5 a4. currently chipped with apr. question is, what are my options without breaking the bank? i know cheapest way out is to just replace it with a used stock one. but what about k03 sport or k04? worth it? reliability? any feedback would be great!

Default what should I expect to spend for a K04 with software?
I assume I will also need injectors as well?

Default no FMIC, no bigger injectors, no upgraded fuel pump...
...Requirements are: cat_back exhaust, 5.0 BAR true Bosch FPR, K04 (obviously), preffered high flow cat (stock here, no problems so far). I think that covers years 97-00.
Hoppen claims 245 bhp and 263 lbs/ft. I just got my ECU back from them. Ran it for just few days, couldn't belive results. First I test drove it after install I was basically laughing@loud to mysel. Nice power. I spike @ 21PSI and hold 19-20. So far go for it. Hope this helps.

Default so we're talking at least $1500 for just the turbo and software?
maybe i'm better off going either stock replacement or K03s and get apr to reprogram my ecu?
