Default K04 Upgrade kit

What comes with it? How much is it? What should be upgraded along wit your turbo to keep stuff running smoothly? I've read some past posts but there is so many damn acronyms I got no clue as to what the hell is bein said.


Thanks

a FMIC (Front Mount Intercooler) is not necessary for the K04 unless you get the PC-16 file. Which is basically a more aggressive chip. This also requires bigger injectors.

Baciscally what comes with the kit is listed on AWETunings website. You could part it together for cheaper I would assume.

The K04 will spool fast and give some great low end torque. If you are going to go this route and stay it, I would also reccomend getting a V6 (2.8L) transmission. This will keep your RPMS in the K04's power range longer.

Let us know if you need more help

Yep, listen to above advice. GIAC is def way to go if you plan on doing the KO4 sometime in the future.

That $1699 icurrent AWE kit is a "little" overpriced... k04 now days should be around $700 shipped, install kit $40, plugs $20, 5bar FPR $80, K04 GIAC chip (same as in their kit) they do sell separately $400... Savings of $400+ you can put toward exhaust
