Default If I were to get a K04 and such on my own, and IF i already have a GIAC chip (from AWE)...

how much would it cost me just for the new k04 software?
Do I need to get a new chip, or would my existing chip be reflashed with the new software, TIA

Also, is 900 a good deal for a k04 or no?

Default call AWE. here's their policy:

copied from AWE's web site:

"Upgrade Policy: We will provide free lifetime upgrades to GIAC chip users who have purchased the chip directly from us. Upgrades apply to current versions of the same type of chip. There are no upgrade paths for certain chips, such as for larger turbo packages. However, we do have discounts available for all GIAC chip users when purchasing a complete larger turbo kit from us. Please inquire about discounts or with any questions you may have regarding this policy."

Default Got my K04 new for $800

from a guy here who runs a small website selling all kinds of turbos (Jaime). Search for his contact info- dunno if he's still in the business or what his current price is.
