It will save you lots of heart ache & money in the future if you take your...
time and locate one with K04's. It does not have to be a stage 3 car. The peace of mind and added modabilty make the extra search worth while.

Don't let them scare you...
If you get the car, just make sure it's certified. If not, DO NOT get a Heritage warranty with the car! Things to look for:
- Stress cracks in the coolant resevoir
- Weird clutch play
- Spare tire & jack condition
- Service history of the vehicle (the vehicle should be within 5000 miles of current mileage)
Good luck! Check us out for exhaust & brake mods when you're ready!

After 3 years of listening to paranoia & cases of voided warranties.....
can't say I would agree with you there. The most expensive weakest link is the turbos. Its a 50/50 shot of getting them thru warranty if your chipped. Most peeps could not afford the cost of repairs if denied due to mods.
Having the option of K04's just seems like cheep insurance. Wouldn't you agree?
