Finally finishing read every bit of this thread.

Time to contribute, installed BMC Panel filter & Seat PD160 kit last night; too much traffic havent been able to test it yet

Giac ecu flash 2 weeks away and then the modification journey starts Would be happy with 150kw atw's (need a bigger turbo i think?)

150 atw is probably a K04, but I would not bother with that and go straight to a Garrett. Either be prepared to spend more than 5k if you can't do it yourself for retail pricing.

Def worth getting a ride in a worked K03 to see if that will satisfy, or hold off on the flash and talk to Gav at CC.

I hope you do, we are in need of some more big build threads.

[Dscott]

<3 Garrett. Warranty is still valid for 6 months, so mild upgrades until then

I'm having my K04 put in my car next week, wouldn't have cost me any more than $2500. If your thinking of going down the chip route, I'd source yourself a K04 and then get the tune from GAIC to suit. Rather than wasting money on a tune that your going to replace 12 months down the track when you decide to get a K04, or if you have in upwards of 10k, a gt28.
