RE: K26 or KO4

Personally I'd do the K04 GIAC. I've got a K04, but not the GIAC chip. That K26 combo sure does sound tempting though. I think I'd rebuild the bottom end too with that much boost.

RE: K26 or KO4

I currently have the GIAC chip and what a difference it makes, and i have been told that the K04 and the K26 are pretty similar, but the K04 is more reliable

RE: K26 or KO4

David I voted for the K04, but Tim's A4 has the KKK BorgWarner turbo. That would be a little different.
Safe I don't know but it is german. But the Boost Contoller? Unnecessary? Just a thought.

RE: K26 or KO4

Im going to go with the KO4. i've already purchase a cashiers check to buy slimchiz's old exhaust manifold, which he has ported for me. so the KO4 it is.

I don't think it's necessarily a matter of being different, I think it's just a matter of feasibility. It'll take a lot of work to make the other turbo work well.
