hp out of ko4
how much horsepower do you think i could run out of a ko4 with a nice program, nice exhaust, injectors, frontmount. i want to upgrade my turbo but are the positives and negatives compared to a big turbo upgrade. and is the ko4 worth the money as apose to the bt upgrade

weth a k04 and extencive tuning, you may be able to pull 300 crank HP, but that would be a stretch. I think the k04 is defanitly worth it is you want a harder, longer pull, but you dont want that rape-you-in-the-a$$ pull form a BT. it is also much less straining on your car. you can also keep your stock clutch, although id recomment changing it.

basically if you want some respectable power, but with only moderate turbolag and good low end boost then the K04 is a good choice. if you wanna really beef it up a k04 wont suffice. BT's will make much more power, but they don't spool as quickly as a K04 would.
