RE: Power Q
I believe its just a software update, but Sirfalcon will know for sure on that one. If you want the power you need the Chip with PC16 software, then injectors to run that software. Highly recommended: Exhausts and FMIC like we said before.

I HAVE a K04/ My K03 was shot, so my dad just replaced it witha K04. But, it's runnign on K03 software. Also, I have a Diverter Valve. The previous owner had one installed along with the APR chip
Is the PC-16 software a seperate ECU, or it an addon to the GIAC chip? My APR chip cant handle K04, so would I have to buy a GIAC+PC-16+Injectors, or PC-16+injectors?

RE: Power Q
Sorry for the confusion, but is the PC-16 that costs 600$ the chip AND the K04 software, or will I have to buy the 500$ GIAC+ the $600 PC-16 software?
And I have an exhaust planned for spring, hopefully Borla.

RE: Power Q
Sorry about that I leave work @4pm CST so thats usually when I log out for the night.
Here is a Pic of what it looks like soldered onto the stock ECU.
Also, not sure if I am reading it wrong but AWE is selling the chip and injectors as a kit for 200 bucks, which is unbelieveable. I would call them first.
So to make it simple.
REQUIRED PARTS
GIAC PC-16 Chip - Aprox $600
K04-15 (you already have) - $0
370/440 CC injectors (Bosch, RC, APR, etc) - Aprox $200
Upgraded Diverter Valve (you have) - $0
Upgraded Clutch - - $700 (Stock will work for now, but it will burn up FAST thats why I put it in the required) Most recomend South Bend, I hate them, I had two of their clutches go out on me in really short amounts of time(few thousand miles), and the second one took my trans with it. I reccomend Clutchmasters, they have been around forever and have good prices. I installed one with the new trans and have about 10K on mine now and it still grips so hard I can spin the Quattro on dry road.
TOTAL -$800-$1500 (depending on if you do clutch now or later, and unless that incredable deal at AWE is correct)
RECOMMENDED PARTS
Exhaust Manifold - $600-900
Exhaust System - (your getting one already)
FMIC - $150(ebay) $875(name brand)
5 Bar Fuel Pressure Regulator ($200 or less)
Motor/Trans Mounts - Once the motor has the extra power, if your mounts are worn out your motor will violently jerk, I doubt it is good for it to leave it that way. Mine was so bad the whole car would shake and the stick would wobble around a full inch while I was driving until these were replaced. I guess this is case by case and you will need to determine if you need this.
