k04 upgrade only 2.5 k????????? :|


i thought i read around 7 grand, or am i missing something here?


surely it would be better getting a bigger turbo than to spend time and money upgrading exhaust and intercooler (prob about 5grands worth)

wouldnt better gains be had out of the k04 with software to suit???

+ brake upgrades, Suspension, , exhaust, FMIC, LSD ... etc. etc. to handle (and stop) all the extra power.

Otherwise ... yeah, just 2.5K

already have suspension upgrade.

front/rear adjustable swaybars, eibach prokit, forge strutbrace (on the way)

i will be buying new pads and brake fluid shortly.


i wont run into any problems fitting a k04 with stock exhaust and SMIC will i???

Will there be a massive difference in power to what i have now?

-APR flash
-BMC panel filter
-Cupra R intake
-Forge TIP
-Forge Diverter valve

You'd be best to PM Guy, Mitch. He can give you much more detail than almost anyone else on the forum (he's done it).

Yeah I do remember it advertised for 7G's up until about 3 weeks ago. Maybe they mixed it up with stage III+ Garrett upgrade???

Yep, they're not designed to cope with a KO4

Well 2.5k for a turbo swap, 1.8k for a ecu program to run the K04, 2.5K for a FMIC..... you're looking at $6800 right there.

I found this article to be of good use.

Aha! So ... what I need is K03-026 180 hp, 85 N actuator or K03-035 180 hp, 85 N actuator and get Guy to remap the software.

i think what i would be looking at (if i was gonna get a borgwarner turbo) is a KO3-052 ... bigger compressor... more effecient... might get a price today.
