    Just a moment...

    k04 upgrade only 2.5 k????????? :|


    i thought i read around 7 grand, or am i missing something here?


    surely it would be better getting a bigger turbo than to spend time and money upgrading exhaust and intercooler (prob about 5grands worth)

    wouldnt better gains be had out of the k04 with software to suit???

    + brake upgrades, Suspension, , exhaust, FMIC, LSD ... etc. etc. to handle (and stop) all the extra power.

    Otherwise ... yeah, just 2.5K

      already have suspension upgrade.

      front/rear adjustable swaybars, eibach prokit, forge strutbrace (on the way)

      i will be buying new pads and brake fluid shortly.


      i wont run into any problems fitting a k04 with stock exhaust and SMIC will i???

      Will there be a massive difference in power to what i have now?

      -APR flash
      -BMC panel filter
      -Cupra R intake
      -Forge TIP
      -Forge Diverter valve

        You'd be best to PM Guy, Mitch. He can give you much more detail than almost anyone else on the forum (he's done it).

          Yeah I do remember it advertised for 7G's up until about 3 weeks ago. Maybe they mixed it up with stage III+ Garrett upgrade???

            Yep, they're not designed to cope with a KO4

              Well 2.5k for a turbo swap, 1.8k for a ecu program to run the K04, 2.5K for a FMIC..... you're looking at $6800 right there.

                This is from a post on Audi-sport that I am sure many of you would find interesting of a question sent to Borgwarner who make the K0 series of turbo's The Question Can the K03 turbo (5303 988 0011 or 5303 988 0053) be directly replaced by the K03S (5303 988 0052 or 5303 988 0026) in...

                  Aha! So ... what I need is K03-026 180 hp, 85 N actuator or K03-035 180 hp, 85 N actuator and get Guy to remap the software.

                    i think what i would be looking at (if i was gonna get a borgwarner turbo) is a KO3-052 ... bigger compressor... more effecient... might get a price today.

                      Guy, can you give us the gen on these KO3 models and the APR tune?

                        Wow - I'm very impressed by Borg Warner's response!

                        Not very often will someone take the time to write something out like that!

                          Nice find Sov! It's a very detailed description. I wonder how much though is also a sales pitch?
