anyone ever run a K04 on a 2.0 stroker?
I ahve 118,000 miles, and will prob keep my A4 forever, or close to it. I also HATE turbo lag. Im considering rebuilding my engine once it starts approaching 200,000 miles, and was considering a 2.0 stroker kit. Is that way too big for a K04? I dont realy wnat to go bigger than a K04 because i liek ahving boost right off idle, and realy dont care much about power above 6500 or so RPM. I just wanta ton of torque. Or would i jsut bhe better off with a stock rebuild with maybe forged rods and pistons, or is that even overkill? Basicaly if I had ported and polished head, intake maifold, exhaust manifold (or custom tubelar header), camshafts (if dahlback can do the programing for them, wich i think they can)K04, FMIC, bigger injectors, and programing to work with 93 octane, what kind of power would i be capable of? would it be a waste with the K04? I imagine that the little K04 would help low end torque alot and with the better breathing of the port and polish the top end would improve slightly also? I imagine a 1.8 would work better than a 2.0 with this setup? or is more displacement always better?
thanks very much.
thanks very much.

Still don't understand your concern. Do you think it's too big ot too small?
my 1.8t used a K04 & it was fine. You should have very good response with your 2.0.
if the new 2.0T uses a K03 then a K04 should be just fine with your 2.0.

Ran ok but the K04 is too small for a 2 liter.
I had 7psi while revving out of gear and full boost around 2200 rpms. YOu want to go with a GT28 with the 2 liter, this will have good spool up and good power.

You can run the K04 but you will have to run it at very low boost.
Even at 1 bar of boost the turbo will be fully spooled and you wont have much power over 4500 rpms. Go with a one of the mid size turbo kits.
