K04 being installed as I type

Got my mobile office set up at KTR and they're installing brand spanking new K04, 5 bar FPR, oil feed, oil return and GIAC K05 ECU flash right now.

Car is running very well - not DTCs for 1.5 months - so hopefully (knock on wood) this will go without a hitch.

Pieced the kit together (brand new) for $1300 not including K05 flask (which will be an upgrade as I have K03 flash) and labor.

I'll post some impressions later today.

At first I was offended...

Well, I also did say 'some people'...

Honestly, it takes a fair bit of practice to get the hang of things, and installing a turbo is not really a "good learn while you fvkc it up" kind of job. Much like brakes. And suspension..
