Thats a bummer but your about to have a very fast s4. The k04's and inlets + hardware should be the same everywhere, but as far as fueling goes youve got some choices.

I agree with camo a6 vast would cook you up whatever you want

I seriously have nightmares about the dreaded turbo whine every now and then. When I wake up it's the biggest relief ever when realize it's just a dream.
Sad isn't it?

I wish I had gone with GIAC now. I just have thek04s with a APR 93 oct. program and a 5b fpr. It runs about 15-16 lbs throughout the revs, which is better than the k03s did but they have much more potential and the non stage 3 APR software doesn't push them as much as I'd like. I called APR and they basically told me (in other words) that their software isn't designed to be modified like some of the other brands. So I was like, whatever.......

update...
so getting my KO'4s is taking a little longer than hoped. but the check's in the mail tomorrow. so I should be getting them within 2 weeks. also I will be getting a custom fueling set up that is said to be able to run high 11's - low 12 on pump 93 and to remain great daily drivability. still looking for IC's. I was looking at ER IC's, but the next batch won't be available for another 4 months or so! those are suppose to be the best out there right now. looking at stage 3 clutch. prob vast. street density 034 engine/tranny mounts. considering custom DP's, if not the piggies. everything seems to change the more I look. also changing shops b/c the one I was going to get it done from is very sketchy supposedly and the one I getting quoted from is supposed to be great!
