Sure you can if you're good to it and your tune is good. Your AF ratio should be monitored to make sure you're not rich or lean.

The K04 Isn't A BT, You'll Be Just fine Running A K04 As A DD.

LOL. Thats some awesome english...

But yes you should be able to drive it everyday, just take percausions and upgrade what needs to be upgrade to work with the ko4.. It seems like a clutch upgrade is a smart idea.

Hell, you could run a GT35R as a daily driver if you wanted to, and your car would be fine, provided you weren't revving the **** off it and beating the **** out of it all the time. It's not the most streetable turbo, but that doesn't mean you CAN'T drive it daily. Whether you'd want to or not is a different story though...but I agree, a K04 is not a big jump up and you'll probably really enjoy the car on a daily basis with it.

BT can only be driven on Mondays and Thursdays.

Joking aside, the more you deviate from the cars original design and specifications, the more likely you are to run into problems.

That goes for turbos and suspensions.
