Buying a K04
I am going to buy a K04 in the next fewweeks and was wondering where a good place to get one is and what other supporting mods I will need. I have a flash, Intake and upgraded DV. Exhaust and high flow cat are on the way and intercooler will be bought by the end of the week as well as big injectors.I also know you need the k04 file. Is there anything else I am missing?

There is a K04 on ebay right now. Not sure if this is a good price or not?

Yeah guys,
K04's are on a national backorder from BW. Your not goign to find one easly, not at a far price. I was lucky enough that a member here had a used one from his car that he rolled and was parting out, but i looked for about a month before i found one after blowing my K03.
I paid $500 shipped for mine with 4000 miles on it. retail is in the low $700s, guess it depends on how bad you want/need it. I woudlnt' spend over $800 for a brand new one, just my opinion. Personaly i woudlnt' buy from someone with 7 feedback ether, i got burnt on the first K04 i tried buying from Ebay, got my money back but i was out the cash for a few weeks. gotta ask yourself, do i trust this guy with a grand of my money, and to i have an extra $300 i just dont' care about? :P
