When you buy the kit it doesnt come with an intercooler soo you dont have to get one

 

do you have a link to a k04 dealer or for used k04s. and how much whould the kit run me with software?

 

no k04 kit comes w/ intercooler, and you dont *need* one. You only need one for the pc-16 or j31 (advanced timing) files.

k04 kit...

turbo: 725$ shipped
install kit: $50
fpr $80
spark plugs: 6$
software: $600??? not sure, though if you have GIAC already you get $200 off!

so for $1461 you can get the kit, though you can source the software and turbo/fpr used for cheaper.

 

and where are you seeing these prices, because im finding turbo kits no less then 1500, 1600. and were talking mucho dinero now.

ecs wants 950 just for the turbo.

holy crap that site charged more for a k04, then I would spend on a 2871R Elim...

 

$745 shipped from a VWvortex sponsor. He also sells the install hardware for an extra $50.
