Default K04 upgrade

Hey everyone,

I am new to the whole Audi game and just came from a few built (turbo) honda's.

I have been reading the forums for a while and need a little advice.

I want to upgrade to a k04 and am looing for around 250 to the wheels and it has to be reliable.

Is this a realistic goal using the K04?

What exactly would I need to acheive that number or close to it?

Does anyone sell a complete kit including software?

I'm sure this has been asked a million times but I did use the search feature. There are just to many conflicting post in there.

So any help would be appriciated.

Thanks

Yes there are many kits out there and that number seems pretty reasonable and depending on the year of your car there are different files you should usae to get the best results but all are by GIAC ......

hey, I got a gtrs setup I will sell u. It is very reliable and will cost about the same as your ko4 setup. It is capable of 300+whp. But at a conservative 14psi, it will put down about 245whp. It wont be as torquey as a ko4, but it will be faster.

K04 is just a little bigger than the stock turbo and wont make alot of difference. I dont think it is worth the money to spend on the kit i would go with something else that is more fun and still good for daily driving.
