has anyone pieced together their own? ive peiced together a kit for a honda before, and it seems like this would be a real simple kit to put togetr.

figure 500 for the k04 chip
plugs, bolts and gaskets would be really cheap
if you can find a decently cheap ko4 and a fpr its all set.
does anyone with the kit know what peices they use exactly? like the legth of the studs, shit like that?

i like the idea of the kit, i just personally find it to be rather high priced for my liking. then again, id rather go custom then spend tons of money, cuz i dont have a whole lot

going custom reqires alot of planning and measurements to make sure you get exactly what you need other wise you will spend more than you would if you would have bought your own kit.

i could see that being the case on a whole custom turbo setup, planning is the key with that, but this is basically a replacement of the k03 with a k04, using new gaskets, and changing the fpr, plugs, and your software. i found a new k04 for 600 bucks after 3 minutes of looking, im sure it can be had for less. i just think you could probly get all the peices for less the whole kit together...

u can get the kit for like 1600 bucks. isnt to bad

yea its not that outrageous, but i built a complete kit for my honda for alot less than that, and theres a ton more parts. And being 20 and having an audi, i dont have 1600 to be throwing around. And if i did save it, god knows i would need to replace something with that money.

well then u bought the wrong car to mod if ur tight on money. i mean im 22 with an 01 and i think thats more than reasonable for a new turbo chip and all gaskets and materials. also u et 200 off if u already have a giac chip

dont tell me what car i should have asshole. i just like to get the most for my money. the plans werent to mod this car, but its an addiction. u dont know my money situation, or where it goes when it comes in. thanks tho.

just tellin ya. its not like tunning a honda. the k04 kit is probally the cheapest mod for the buck. if u want anything bigger plan to spend 4k. asshole. more like broke ass

lol, thanks for the obvious information u toolbox. 2001 a4 makes me a broke ass? lol

imo i would jsut buy a kit, its too much work to do all the measurements and stuff

thats the thing tho, is that theres not much to measure. your still using the exact same turbo and exact same software. Ill try and do it eventually and let u guys know. i came across a k04 on ebay the other day for 374 or something like that, i didnt pay too muc attention. either way u gotta pay the $500 for the software (or get the $200 discount after already speding 500 on the other chip, which would bring the total to $2100 theoretically).

i guess its a matter of opinion on this one

well, nevermind. i just found that the chip for the k04 is 699, or 199 if u have the k03 chip. that throws the price alot higher then i thought. makes more sense to get the whole thing then.

dude silver you were being an asshole not him. just pop a couple of xanex

I just hate when people tell me that i shouldn't have what i have. i bust my balls to have the car, and i love it. i just feel that, for the most part, things for audis simply have an inflated price JUST because its for an audi. They know u spent more on the car,so they make u pay more for everything else. i try and find ways around that, because i wouldn't send 1300 on an exhaust (not that you have to, but there is that option).

I got my used K04 of a TT it took some work since it was a bit larger than the A4 K04 i payed only $500 for it though

i actually just started looking at that. let me know how that works out, cuz i knows it has some differences form the ko4-15 (i think) which is the normal one they use.

yeah it works fine with the Giac stage 1.5 software. the software is tuning for the k04-15 but work with the k04-25.

NOTE: the K04-01 will not work on the quattro a4's dont even purchase it

I might be selling my k04 kit for $1200, k04 and giac chipped and socketed ecu. I don't have a fpr because I use an adjustable one but they can be had for cheap. I would also need your stock ecu.
BTW I'm new here so let me know if I cant post fs adds.

TomRitt, Im interested in that greatly, please pm me with some details asap! I wil provide with a stock ecu.

Pm'd you

I am intrested in the k04 kit let me know if you still have it

im recently over from the turbo honda world too, it is an eye opener to see such high prices for things, but there are turbo kits for hondas that are pretty high priced too. it just depends on what honda your looking at etc.

quick question, why do you need the GIAC k04 chip to run with this tubo? i mean its still pushing boost, its not like the air is any different. if you reprogram it to allow for more boost thats all that should be necessary right? i mean your just going from one turbo to another, the computer doesn't know this. you'd just need some injectors and the chip reprogramed with higher boost capabilities right? how can they charge more just to change the numbers under the boost catagory?

as i mentioned i come from honda tuning, and im familiar with rom burning, romulators, stand alones and piggie backs, why is it different for audi?

Audi cars are smarter then hondas, athought alot of people do run stand alone and others.

um ok buddy, i don't see any NA VW/Audis putting over 110hp per liter. honda has been doing that for a while, hell even the 1.8t doesn't do that and its turbo. i think your just trying to argue, you didn't even try to answer my question. thanks a bunch!

dude are u backing up honda's u ricer boy shut the fuck up you want more than 110hp per litre look RS6 but whatever u can't be comparing your POS honda's to an Audi there is no comparesion I think u need to go back to your little ricer world there bud sell your Audi and get a nice civic and put some type R stickers on it hey i've heard those add 15 whp [sm=loser.gif]

first off let me say HAHAHAHA do some research before you start spitting out crap. the RS6 makes 450hp out of a 4.2 liter, thats 107 hp/ltr yeah thats less than 110 hp per liter. hell the rs6 is even turbo!! the s2000 makes 120 hp per liter, oh without a turbo too...

i respect ANYTHING that is fast, it doesn't need to be any make, yeah most hondas are slow POS rice burners, shit almost all are lol, but there are some out there that NO audi could touch, and ones like that i respect and will defend. all im saying is that technology wise honda has been far more advanced than any other car company in terms of efficient yet powerful and high hp small displacement, im not defending the 16yr old in the crx with a 5in tip, i hate those guys as much as the next performance enthusiest. but the stock appearing and sounding crx that suddenly comes alive and spits out 11 second 1/4 mile at 5k elevation, now thats respectable.

for the record, yes i hate ricers with a passion, you could ask any of my friends. if i see a ricer talking crap about this or that making this hp or that hp i will almost run over there and streight tell him he is full of shit and back it up with facts too(something ricers can't do) and yes there are audis that are rice too, 3 ft alu wing(we call it a brick wall wing, aerodynamics of a brick wall) 6 in exhaust tip, altezzas, no engine mods, etc. do you defend them?

hey asshole have you seen the torque on the s2000 my 94 Golf cl has more torque that that POS honda does not make fast cars I had one 94 GSR POS even look at the NSX whats that 290hp haha what a joke dude your not going to win this argument talking about honda's on a Audi forum

Let me sum it up real quick

Audi>Honda

Honda shouldn't even be represented in this forum. Have you seen the URL? www.AUDIFORUMS.com

Done now?

BTW

Type R stickers add 20-25 HP and mufflers add about 50 or so, especially the ones w/o resonators

wow duh their in another catagory, lets see $500 crx vs $14k audi, which will i choose? audis are better in almost every way! im just saying that SOME (VERY few) hondas are ok. the main reason i got out of the honda world is because there are too many ricers driving them and i hate being associated to them, my car appeared stock no rice can, no stickers, but it was still a rice burner and i just got tiard of dealing with every little punk kid in his civic hx asking "yo homes what chu gat onder da hood?" or "hey mang chu wanna run for slips?" that shit just gets old. lol i always told the ricers who wanted to race for money(street night at dragslip) that my intake/turbo assembly was a cold air intake, lol you can tell em anything.

"um ok buddy, i don't see any NA VW/Audis putting over 110hp per liter. honda has been doing that for a while, hell even the 1.8t doesn't do that and its turbo. i think your just trying to argue, you didn't even try to answer my question. thanks a bunch!"


You're retarded, i did anwser you question your just to stupid to figure it out. You basicly ask why you need to software do to run a different setup, I told you, audis are smarter then hondas and dont like running big setups on stock software even if you do use a stand alone or not. It obvisouly can be done but not as safe or reliable. Dude, sell your car and buy a another honda. It sounds like thats where you belong.

ok i didnt want to get into this, look i LOVE audi, i like the look, performance, just about everything about them.......but on this i agree with greenday. honda is far superior in bang for the buck and ESPEACIALLY in performance out of small engines. If I had $40,000 im sorry but I would take the s2000. and use the rest for some kick ass wheels or insurance.
Not to mention reliability. God there is not comparison there…….i remember when I worked as a valet drive at a country club…one of the members bought an a8. I remember drooling over it, about a month late he bough a bmw 7 series. I asked his why he sold the a8, he said….”it was distcusting how much I had to take it to the dealership”.

Well im only a 19 year old kid so what do I know right??

I think you might want to go post this in a Honda forum somewhere no one here is going to agree with you you will most likly get your ass torn for saying this this is just a warning

Please…no…..dont…..”tear my ass”…..WOW I didn’t know paying 40k for a car makes you connected at the hip with it. Just a warning? Yeah in scared…………look I was just agreeing with the other guy, if its true I don’t care where I am (Honda forums or here) im still going to post it. Honda makes great little engine, Audi makes great luxury cars…….its just the truth, you don’t have to be scared of it.

So im guessing what you want to here is this and only this:

Audi is the best, I love Audis, no car but no car is better than it.

ferrari 456gt, ferrari 612 scaglietti, porsche gt1, gt2, gt3, porsche carrara turbo, lotus elise, lotus esprite, BMW m5, m6, m3, 760i, mercedes benz e55,sl55,sl65,cl65, nissan 300zx

these are all better than ANY audi. its just nobody can really afford these cars but they ARE BETTER
