I'm looking to change my stock turbo in my 2000 A4 1.8T to a K04 but I was wondering if I can just bolt it in and if it would run on the factory ECU also I was wondering what is the best way to get alot of HP after that is in.

First, get a chip. You have a B5 so I suggest a GIAC chip. Then get a new DV

There are some websites that sell the K04 with software and injectors like Awe tuning

If you do get a K04, get a FMIC and then you can get the Pc-16 file.

Wait, why am I saying all this, SEARCH!! Im sure there are plenty of posts about this. You can also look in the A4 section.

Hold on baby Jesus, it's gonna get bumpy

your car will run fine if you put in a KO4, just without software and whatnot you won't see any real gains. like scott said get some 310cc injectors a FMIC and some good ol' GIAC pc-16 tuning and you'll be a happy camper. thats probably the most power you are goin to get out of a KO4, if you want more then that then save up and go BT

i hope you guys are talking about the ko4-015. This wont be that much of a gain over the ko3s and not really worth the money. If you go with the ko4-2x from 225 tt you will see much better gain and worth the effort.

ko3s -> ko4-015 = ~10hp and 15-20 ftlbs
ko3s -> ko4-2x = 20-25hp and 30-40ftlbs

its worth the money if you go with a pc-16 file. if you're just slapping it on and not chipping then no, its not worth it, no turbo would be.

your paying like $700 for a larger turbine housing, last i check garret housings only cost about $100. Doesnt seem like a good trade to me. If they just sold the housing to convert you k03s into a ko4-001/15 it would be a much better upgrade. So borg warner should sell us just the housing.
