Default Cost comparison needed between K03's and K04's...
What are each priced per pair (turbos only)?

I understand you would need to upgrade the inlet pipes for the K04's, what other related equipment upgrades are required. Let's keep the A.W.E. stage 3 kit out of the comparison for now as I know what that would cost.

What related repairs/replacements should be done while the turbos are being replaced? Just did the TB, WP, and Cam Seals at 81k (now at 87k)? I would think this is the time to replace the clutch and flywheel.

Thanks

Default K04s with inlets can run anywhere from $2300+
the upside is that the failure rate is far lower. To cut costs, you might want to look into Jacob's K03/K04 hybrids.

Default Hugh? $2400 without inlets if you're lucky, and luckier still if you can ever track down inlet pipes
Inlet pipes are on perpetual intergalatic back-order, have been since last year
