Let me know how it goes. I have an 18Q box in my 2000 tip. I now have 175K miles (90K since I chipped with APR), and my K03 is starting to go out.

ya keep us updated on how the file works.. it should be fine though. i wouldnt worry a whole lot about keeping off the boost until you get the k04 file. I just wouldnt do a bunch of WOTing. Lots of people use k03 chip on a k04 turbo at least temporarily and have no issues. Hell thebishop is running his k04 on a k03 dahlback (i think) chip and we all know he drives like an *******! I think he may also have a 5bar fpr so the chances of him running too lean arent as high as with the stock 4 bar fpr. But still, dont be too freaked out about getting on the boost, i just wouldnt go get into it tooooo much.

First off dude....It's loud get one and you'll see. And it scares the sh*it out of me because it spools up faster and before I had all the vac leaks and a turbo that was on its way out so when I floored it before and though I was going fast it was still only at like 75% potential now with my K04 its brand new and all the vac lines are secure so when it spools up EARLER it pulls way harder then it ever did before so It scared me. When I get my software it should be even better. Im lovin it bottom line.

Sounds like a semi.. How can a K04, an Audi TT turbo be that loud.. and how can 270 or whatever horse power it puts down scare the sh*t out of you...

A ko4-15has the same compressoras a ko3s with a slightly larger turbine. A ko4-2x (x meaning 20,22,23) has slightly large compressor and turbinethan a k04-15/001.

I live about 30 miles from Willow Graove PA, so I'll be giving AWE tuning a call.

Not upset, just making sure others get the point. A ko4-001/15 (transverse/longitude version) will get you ~220-230whp on pump and a k04-2x will get you ~240-260whp. But both will get you tons of torque, the joy of small turbos.

I agree with ny, its loud, but the first couple of days, it was so loud that i was like is this thing serious? BUt it calms down eventually, and at full boos, it just sounds like its pushing a lot of air, not so much that turbo whine you get from the huge turbos. They didnt have a program for me either, so i had to upgrade to the 3 different program setup, and had them just set it on ko4 file till i get a switcher, i think thats bs but what can you do? Its running like **** now, and im working on figuring that out.
