Default K04s with Stock ECU (A box)

I have been having problems with my 2000 S4 (just got it 3 months ago). The car is Audi Assured (BS warranty IMO). It looks like the turbos maybe on their way going south so my question is this: if they are bad and Audi wants to replace them should I fork over the difference for the K04s and have them install those instead? I would want to stay stock for another 6 months to a year. Would I have problems with it since the STOCK chip is not designed to work with the K04? Should I have them change the clutch, with RS4's. I have 45k miles on it and the clutch is fine. My car is BONE stock, (not even tint) Any issues at all? How about performance, any gain? What else should I have them change? (3rd party oil lines maybe) I did some searches and couldn't get all my questions answered.


p.s.
Has any one done this? Any comments?
I'm thinking of going stage 2+. (ARP chip, Borla G2, Le Bree with cats)


Thank you in advance, comments and suggestions are welcomed.

IF Audi is willing to install the K04s, they will run fine w/ stock programming

I don't know if AUDI would. I'm just asking to see if it will work.
