Default K04 availability for the S4?


Does anyone know if it's possible to buy K04 turbos for the S4 now? I just talked to a guy in Boulder at TEC (Turbocharging Engineering Center) and he said there's nothing yet because the K03 used on the S4 is different (at least bolts on differently) than the K03 on the A4.

Default Recent EC article hints that Neuspeed is working on a kit.

Default Re: Neuspeed YUCK!!!!

Not to argue with you, but I have had good experiences with APS/Neuspeed stuff. Granted all of my experience has been on VWs (I have had 4 different VWs).

I am *supposedly* first on the list for their new S4 ECU which is due out in the next few weeks. I am looking forward to giving it a try. (Heck for $249 and boasting the same numbers as APR and the others, it is worth a try!)

The only thing I dislike about Neuspeed is that they have become somewhat of a rice boy commodity. I keep seeing everything from GMC Vans to Pontiac Sunfires sporting the big ugly "NEUSPEED" Sticker on their front windshield! (I must admit however, that in a previous life as a VW Junkie, I did have a neuspeed sticker on a few of my cars! of course unlike most of the cars I see, I actually had their products on my car!)

I might even take a peek at their S4 exhaust, it has almost the same design and look as the APR exhaust, but is half the price @ $700.

Default Sport Turbos == K03 with mods


I just talked to TAP and they take the K03 and modify it to accept a larger impeller.
