Re: How much did it set you back and what state are you in?
Chose the K04 because it's a direct bolt on and I only wanted about 240hp
Was told that the install is done in 3-4 hours.
Almost 8 hours later!!! It was finished. LOL
ran into a few problems getting to pipes and lining the turbo up and trying to find a rubber washer that was dropped.
My Impression
Big difference
Don't notice any lag and it keeps pulling up high. Boost spikes to about 13-14psi and tappers down to 10-11psi a redline.
A denfinate improvement over stock even with std ecu.
Went pass European Auto (That's one clean workshop) and Derek checked a/f ratio and timing etc and all came back ok. Derek also installed the APR Snub Mount.
BTW. only installed the K04 not the software yet.
I am thinking of getting a Dahlback chip for the car. 237Hp and 402Nm :OD
