Well after a quick search I found apost that said that after 280ft/lb of torque you will start to have issues witht he TIP. Looking at what APR has just having the Chip and Injectors on the K03 will jump it to 229hp/271lb-ft on 91 oct and 235hp/275lb-ft for 93 Oct. Thats just at the borderline of safe. You can put the K04 but I think I will pass on it since its just about the limit I can go on the turbo thats all ready on the car. Having to get a new tranny is just to much for me to get later on in the year.

ok - somehow this post turned into a "how to make a TIP tranny faster" post - this is not what I asked

I want to know trial times for 0-60 and 1/4 mile for B5's. I want to know how much diference in 0-60 and 1/4 mile will the chipped k04 vs the chipped k03 will make.

my B5 starts with 150hp/155lbs
apr chip gives you 200hp/243lbs
giac gives you 197hp/235lbs
giac ko4 turbo kit with chip gives you 235hp/265lbs

I'm going to go with Giac but I want to know - if I spend the extra $1300+injectors on the Turbo upgrade - what difference will it make. I've read post about people with the k04 being wooped up on by a k03 just because it takes so long to spool. Is this correct?

Does the 280lbs top limit stand for all tip's or just the b6

should I just start a new post

I don't understand why so many people think that a "k & n" will do anything? With the way Audi's and VW's airboxes are set-up, there is no need for it, and to be honest, the oil from those filters actually cause the MAF sensors to go out, making them ultimately a waste of time. Ask any true Audi mechanic, I'm not even kidding. Leave the airbox the way it is.

Bottom Line=No power gained from K & N filter in these cars, and no point for an intake system seeing as all you'll get from it is a cooler sucking noise.

Where did you find a chip+injector kit for a B5? I think this guy is talking about B5's, and the only kits I've seen (i.e. APR) is for the B6. I have a B5, and have yet to have someone confirm that if I were to upgrade to a k04 with 225HP TT injectors, they would have an aggressive file for me, or any file for that matter. Actually, speedtuning told me that it would almost be a trial and error thing, which I'm not going to pursue. I have a ST 91 octane k03S file right now, and love it, 4 yrs+!
