Default For all you that read my earlier post. It was

the seal on the exhaust side of my turbo causing the smoke. Glad I have an insider at Champion Audi.
Thanks for nuttin

Default A K04 shares the same housing as a K03

Just all the internals are different. So a K04 is an upgraded K03...kinda

Default Just get a K04 from Avalon

I think its like $850 or something. Then get TT225 injectors for $300 and software for $xxx. Because, iirc, the APR kit doesn't include the software.

Default Hit, these guys know what they are doing, I bought my K04 from them. Highly recommended.

Stock K03's and K04's have very weak exhaust housings that are prone to cracking, I called them up and they built me an OEM K04 center cartridge with an aftermarket high-nickel content exhaust housing that is more resistant to cracking. So far so good, I've had the turbo for over a month and so far no issues, but they were great on the phone and delivered as promised. Just make sure that if you want an authentic K04, you have to ask them for an OEM center cartridge, if not they will build one with an aftermarket cartridge that has similarly-sized turbines.
