Default K04 upgrade questions - my K03s may be dying...

So some of you seem to think my rebuilt turbos are junk....well if they are I certainly do not want to put another set in. If I go K04, I dont want to do major stuff, I just want stock fueling, stock programing, stock exhaust. AWE and APR kits both have injectors and require programing upgrades. I do have an APR chip, but I dont have it in my car. Also both kits say "6 Speed" and I have a Tiptronic. Is it possible to get just the turbos, hoses, MAF, and leave it at that? For now I want to go bare minimum with maximum reliability. In the future when I really have money I can change that. Would anyone have a cost for this minimum upgrade?

Thanks
Carter

Default Yes you an just get the turbos and be fine.

Depending on the shop, the labor could be anywhere between $1000 - $1500.

The turbos, probably ~$2400 w/inlets, I think...somewhere around there.

Default Whoa wait, where have you seen K04's for $1950? The cheapest I've found...

Is $2150 off some guy on VWVortex for NIB K04's. If I can find that stuff for those prices, I'm all over it.
