Ah, I forgot the AWE factor. You multiply and convert to years. ;)
So, two weeks x's 2 is 4 weeks. Convert that to years.... hrmmm. I am lost. It is gonna be a while. Give me a couple weeks.

it's not a bad bullet to bite if there isn't a market for a different kit...i guess we could
revolve this topic forever, huh?
k04's seem to be the easy, proven option...compared to something that might not hold up over time, not tested and such...
it would be nice if we could get proper software independently one day....oh well...i don't see anyone friendly enough to do that yet.

so, who developed the turbos? that's some custom work to get the fitment to mate up in a stock
location..they claimed 510 horsepower...who did the tuning?
i don't know if this is a load of crap or not.

well..you've got the exhaust housing and the oil/coolant inlet/outlet locations to worry about, not
to mention all the dimensions and all...it's not a very fun thing to think about, you know? like...would you want someone to cast you a housing that would fit right, then a couple thosand miles down the road have the freaking thing crack on you? it's things like that that scare me and make me see k04's in a better light...after all, if we're going to keep the stock locations of the turbos, that seems the way to go...also, the k04's make better use of the space allowed before the inlet of the downpipes at the exhaust housing...the wastegate flap and the exhaust turbine are pretty much maxed out.

not a bad option. the response time would be nice,....overall horsepower
capability would be about the same i'd guess...coulda stuck with regular k04's and still be alive? i wonder where the failure was.
