is the K04 worth it?

RE: is the K04 worth it?
chaos and khj, do you guys have the hammer file for the k04? A couple people in zine say it is a lot better then the normal k04 file, you do have to have a FMIC, and bigger injectors for the more aggressive hammer file though.

yes if u have b5 s4 put k04s on it! B5 RS4's come with ko4's and S4's come with ko3's and do RS4 upgrades to ko4s
apparently its not much HP difference, and it will hold power slightly longer but not much..... for the $1000 for k04 and new flash but it towards a FMIC/BT setup All of 200-300rpms, hardly noticable.
i was in the same boat as u, ive read and read... dont waste it!

hammer is for 01 cars. and actually its the least aggressive out of the 3 b5 k04 files. i would have to go with pc-16 (which is notorious for bad a/f's), and khj677turbo would have to go J-31. which is the most aggressive of the three. they add around 12-20 hp and 30-50 ft lbs of torque overabove what the regular k04 file is at. so you dont get that much more power for another ~600 bucks.

when a larger turbo is only 200-300 dollars more. K04 is junk by comparison.

t3 60trim = internally gated $700, externally gated $525
new ko4-15 = $700
