Default Plain and simple, you dont' need one with a K03, unless you're...

running lots of boost off it for long durations. Even then, I don't think the gains will be any, maybe even negative. You will get lots of lag because apparntely the K03 can not fill that volume fast enough.

Default Get it but don't hook it up. It'll look so cool and your A4 will be "K04 ready"

of course I am joking. I'm with RedRocket on this one.

Default Look very close to the Forge unit. Of course, Forge unit never made to production, but they.....

have one for GTI that may fit our A4 with some modification (of course, mounting)

Default TyrolSport SMIC is a MONSTER!

4.5" core. Bad *** too. I've seen it in person, very well built and very well worth it. I may be switching to it as soon as I can!
