spark pluggs, and the turbo.

you should at least get a 2.25" like a Borla

you may find that your CAI is really sucking in hot air. sell it for money to buy an exhaust.

search the B5 A4 forum...tons of info there.<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shared/part_detail.cfm?PMaI=1&PMoI=1&PEI=2&PP =a4_18t_drivetrain.cfm&PPT=Drivetrain&IL=A WEK04">http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shared/part_detail.cfm?PMaI=1&PMoI=1&PEI=2&

I highly recomend you get one. What kit for the k04 are you looking at??

the PC-16 file is a great set up, im soon to have the set up. You need to special order the GIAC PC-16 chip, then buy a k04 turbo with red top injectors, adj FPR, spark pluggs, and look into getting a FMIC or tyrol sport SMIC. And you might want to ditch the CAI, or at least make a really good and efficient heat sheild for it.
