Re: absolutely zero wear on the rest of the car, in fact, you're making it more reliable
I am getting software too. So, a proformance clutch will be needed? Dang! I just put another OEM clutch in a few months ago. What's that cost, like $1200?

you want straight plane jane k04's
you wont need any head work or upgrades, and the software your getting is designed to run with K03's, and since you'll have K04's running @ k03's boost levels will be incredibly reliable! You may need a clutch, a new stock clutch should hold the power down okay, and also going this route allows you to get a LOT faster when you want too for far less money than replaceing the turbos all over again.
straight k04's only need inlets to work properly, and they are extremely more reliable than any rebuilt turbo,

best bang for the buck , most reliable and pretty efficient combois the ko3/ko4 hybrid
reliable bc the moving parts (balanced wheels and core of the turbo- aka CHRA ) is a new part from the manufacturer put between the 2 ko3 ends (housings) that get some machining to clear the new bigger wheels.
this is a great guy/place selling these turbos:<ul><li><a href="http://audspeed.com/pages/9/index.htm">the 1450$/pair ones - miswritten - ment s4/rs4 turbo -Rubens (audspeed on ebay)</a></li></ul>
