ko4 or 2871R
This has probably been posted alot but i cant find it. I want to think about getting a upgraded turbo for my 99.5' A4 1.8t. I was looking at the ko4 but i guess people dont like it because it dosent produce anough power. I was wondering if i can get the hp gain of a ko4 compared to the 2871R from www.renn-art.com

RE: ko4 or 2871R
My finace has the 36C's they are nice
but just like a turbo.. they can always be bigger..
Hmm.. this analogy works well..
Do you want a huge turbo with high RPM power. Full GT28RS/GT2871R Elim(36DD)
Or a small one will quick spool and snappy touque? k04/GT2X(A Cup)
Or do you want a compromise... say a GTRS kit.. or a Full 28R kit? (34/36C)
I mean there is always bigger .. 2871R Full, 3071R Full.. GT35R (36DDD... beer can crushers)

You'll get just as much torque if not more out of a k04, but you won't see nearly as much power as a Garret turbo. I really like my k04 though. Its great for a daily driver, and the most reliable turbo upgrade out there.

what kind of power would i have with a ko4 kit, chips, down pipe, and a catback.......does anyone know anything in the ballpark?
