Default Turbo upgrade opinions? Neuspeed vs. APR

Seeking opinions on Neuspeed's K04 turbo kit vs. APR's Stage III. There's an obvious $ difference, but I'd love to hear first hand anecdotes.

Neuspeed is $1995 vs. $3995 APR, but APR seems to have a manifold included.

Default Depends if you have the update K03..

If you have the original K03 the k04 upgrade might be something. But if you already at the k03-hybrid in the newer motors, then the gain just isn't worth it.

It's intended for a 1999.5 1.8t.

Default hmmmm.. APR's better?

let's not get into this arguement..
but keep in mind.. PES does happen to have the T28 turbo which does happen to give more HP for the $$$, and also with GIAC tuning.

K04 definately if you want to keep the stock look.
You can also give a good run to a stock S4 with a K04 setup. AWE has a K04 kit. Don't bother with Neuspeed the programming for the K04 kit that they have isnt up to par.

Neuspeed's software runs less boost then GIAC.
