Appreciate that,would prefer a local purchase though. Only one here and it's a three door.

patience is the key... unless you make it worth it for me to give you mine???

Someone on another forum who has done a K04 upgrade has hinted that they have had issues - so it isn't as easy as it seems.

Who was that?

As mentioned, it would be easier to go find a Pirelli if you want VW to cover it all. I've not had an issues unless I ventured outside of what was recommended for the kit. I did need to replace my coil packs, but that ended up being a VW recall item. Using the right intake for whatever tune you go with is essential.

If you're thinking of going with AWE, call Lucas in Melbourne and have a chat.

Thanks for that. I have actually spoken to Lucas and emailed him for a quote. Did you get the Awe kit yourself ?

I went with the APR Edition 30 kit. Been running it for a few years now. No flaws other than the coil packs I mentioned. I've had a few errors occur due to some experimentation with aftermarket intakes, but if you stick with the stock one (as directed by APR), it works flawlessly.

At the end of the day, you should go with the people that will offer you the best support. Local support would be best, but I don't know what your options are over there. I'm sure there are a good number of locals who would know the score out your way though.

Thanks John, we have local support for both, so should be ok.
