Save up another grand or two and get a BT kit!

My opinion, Keep the cash in case something breaks.

i wouldn't get a k04...... for that whole 2 grand, maybe plus a little bit you could go big turbo..... now you would have to save for the other stuff........


but if you plan to make any serious power, do like cincy said, and i fixed...... those mods would get you started towards a bt setup

If he spent the money on a ko4, he would be wasting the money and seeing less gains than with the ko3 spent like above. Im all for getting a good amount of power and having $600 or so in reserve to fix anything that needs it or make payments with

ORIGINAL: turbo kraut

ORIGINAL: cincyTT

I could do plenty with $2k

Diode mod with a nice boost gauge and mbc (diode $0.25, mbc $45-100, boost gauge $40-60)
- $80-160
Test pipe - $80 off ebay
Catback - $700 ($350 for custom with magnaflow muffler, what i paid for mine)
ebay ic - $250
upgraded pads F&R ($350ish for a8 rotors + tt carries and hawk pads of purems)
ebay short shifter ($30)
bpi flow stack intake $55 for k&n and swiss box mod
That still leaves you about $750-800 for misc stuff if needed.
this is the only thing i would do...... take that extra for any fixes you come across in the next few months and then save up for a bt or whatever else you may want
other than that list...... if you can come across a tuned ecu in the classifieds i would buy it


for the power you are going to get like i said and cincy said k04 won't do it


i guarentee you ask alot of the k04 guys..... they wished they would of saved a little more cash and got a bt

only way i would ever go k04 is if my k03 shot craps and i could get a k04 w/ programming dirty cheap
