Default Turbo upgrade

looking to upgrade stock 1.8T

Greedspeed has the Neuspeed k04 kit for $1700.

Anyone know where to get a k04 kit at a better price?

Anyone have this kit? how is it?

Is it neccessary to change my exhaust? If so can it wait a couple months? Would like to keep it stock for now.

Default try ecs $850 for k04

you don't need to do the exhaust or chip, you can just run with the stock program and ehaust but, you won't get all the benefits of your k04!

Default You'll need (want) K04-specific software, plugs, gaskets, etc. Get a kit - not just the turbo. (m)

AWE's kit comes w/ everything needed - turbo, FPR, plugs, gaskets, &amp; GIAC's K04 software.<ul><li><a href="http://awe-tuning.com/pages/shared/part_detail.cfm?PMaI=1&amp;PMoI=1&amp;PEI=2&amp;PP =a4_18t_drivetrain.cfm&amp;PPT=Drivetrain&amp;IL=A WEK04">AWE's K04 kit</a></li></ul>

go with a kit. it will save you lots of time and headache getting everything matched from the get go. Total Audi Performence out of Florida have kits from stage 1 all the way to a full engine swap.

Default AWE/GIAC kit is $1700 as well.......

plus you have the opportunity to upgrade from that with the PC-16 file &amp; 310cc injectors.

With any turbo upgrade, you'll want to have a high flow exhaust. Most kits come with some sort of warranty, that will be void if you don't have one.

Default Then you'll need a healthy $60+ in hardware, gaskets, seals, etc.....

just to install it.

You could run a K04 on K03 software, but to optimize it, you'll want to buy a whole kit. Buying just the software setup after the fact will be spendy.
