SKIP! If you can get that price for K16s, hop to RS6s.

Default But RS6's are like $3400...I will have less than $2000 into the set of K16's all

said and done, including brand new CHRA's. I can't justify the cost difference when I already have the fueling for K04 turbos, plus, I'm a poor college kid and dont have an extra $1400+ to put into bigger turbos...so with that in mind, do you think it's a good choice? At least better than a new set of K04's that would cost me $400 more?

Default Yes, but I mean aren't RS6 K04's like $3200 or $3400? I will have spent less than

$2000 on a completely rebuilt set of K16 K04s. That is why I cant justify the extra money to go to RS6 K04's...get what I mean?

How can it be so much more to rebuild K04s with RS6 comp wheels as opposed to K16s!? Makes no sense.

Default O I see what you mean. They currently have K16 wheels in them, and you are saying I could

have them machined to have the RS6 wheels in them? How much more do you think that would be? And would it really be worth the extra cost if I won't be upgrading fueling?

If you won't be upgrading fueling, it isn't worth any extra cost. I ran K16 hybrids w/ 3-, ran fine.

Default Alright, thanks. My plan most likely is to send them to Audspeed to have them remove the

current CHRA's, and replace with new CHRA's, and any associated work involved in replacing them. Will give Blouch a call for a quote as well before deciding for sure. They should be more reliable than PJ K04's shouldn't they? Since I will be running ASP k04 files?

Do RS6 CHRAs in K04 housings. OEM K04s are very reliable whereas hybrids are more of a toss up...
