I haven't seen anywhere that sells K03's just wondering the price difference between them and k04's?

Official shop labor hrs is 18 hrs (~$1700) plus the price of the turbos.

Default why? you'd be replacing an injured gimp with a healthy gimp-- in the end, it's still a gimp

while you're replacing turbos, just go with K04's. you don't need fueling-- you can just run stage 3- and have more reliable turbos

Default IIRC, k04's are ~$2500 and k03's are ~$1500

You will be so much better off installing k04's. Even if you <b>don't</b> want more power, they are significantly more reliable.

I had the dealer replace blown k03's with new k03's. (Yes, 2 mistakes there) The "new" k03's are leaking oil again. I kick my self in the **** every day for not spending the ~$1000 more.

so you're going to give the gimp a real fast bike to ride, but not give him legs to ride it hard?
