I recently did the K04 upgrade. It makes a really nice improvement, but here's what the final config ended up being:

K04-15 w/ install kit: $775 shipped
USRT Genesis 380cc injectors: $240 shipped
TT225 MAF: $115 from the dealer (normally $138)
GIAC K04-15 Hammer file (requires the 3-program option): $700 installed
Techtonics Tuning 2.5" Downpipe with Stock Exhaust: $240 shipped (plus $300 installation--long story)

I did all my own labor except the downpipe (and I'm glad as it wasn't an easy fit). I replaced the turbo, injectors, and MAF myself. The TT225 MAF is 3", so you need to Dremel the opening in the airbox and use K-Y Jelly to get the intake pipe on over it.

All-in-all, however, the car now rocks! Just don't think you're going to get away with a turbo upgrade cheaply, even with a K04. It's a definite improvement over the K03 stock turbo with just software, but it's at least $1500 more.

Where'd you get the turbo 775 shipped?

It looks like the price has gone up $20<ul><li><a href="http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2029936">FS: Brand new K04-015 with install kit</a></li></ul>

IAT = intake air temperature?

My thoughts exactly. That's the reason for me having the DSMIC installed. I'll be K04'ed in 3 weeks.
