Default Ok... what is entailed in going from K03 to K04 turbo?

I will need to talk to Jeff Moss/Garrett about chip changes...but what else? Yes, I want more top end..and this is really the only way to get it.

Default Well you can always go BT for true top end power...

K04 needs specific K04 software and larger injectors. Exhaust, HFC/test pipe, DSMIC/FMIC, clutch are highly recommended for the full potential.

Basically something similar to my setup is needed (new clutch will be installed in October).

Decided to keep the B6 for now?

Default Wallowing in indecision...

The B6 is bigger inside...especially in the back. It is all sorted out..the 2001 has little gremlins that are starting to bother me. I really think I am a "new car guy". I don't like things breaking ..and me trying to figure them out..especially when labor rates in my area go from a rare low of $80/hr..to a high of $135/hr at the local dealerships.

I already have the bigger injectors...I have exhaust..just need the bigger intercooler(s)..I could do the high flow cat/test pipe route. I should probably update the clutch..I remember talkin to Moss about that before.

Default Tgr_Clw's setup is really really smooth and is extremely fun to drive

Maybe you want to consider MTM?

MTM is great, but it's $$$.

Default $5300 for the APR S3+ kit.

Also add money for a FMIC, exhaust, HFC/test pipe - all are required for the kit. Suspension and brake upgrades are strongly recommended.

On a positive note, the kit does make around 300whp on a dyno :-)<ul><li><a href="http://www.goapr.com/Audi/products/stage3_b6a4.html">http://www.goapr.com/Audi/products/stage3_b6a4.html</a></li></ul>
