TT k04 is NOT the same as the A4 with k04 kit
TT has the motor mounted transversly, and uses a different k04 than the A4 kits.
The A4 k04 kits are k04-16, a chip, and injectors etc...you can't do an A4 k04 Without a chip...you need the chip...there is no A4 k04 non chipped...I think that is what you are confused about.
When thinking TT ko4, do NOT associate it with the A4...completely different.

The Ko4 is a slighly bigger turbo (same housing)
it has different internals which allow it to safely run at 20psi instead of 15psi, thus the gain in power. It also does not run out of steam at 5500 rpm like the KO3. So that extra 5 psi is good for that additional 20-25hp. Some people push the KO4 past 20psi.
An excellent upgrade to give your car hi-rpm breathing.
