Looks good! But, sorry to say, I think the GLI would need a lot more work than intake, exhaust, and chip to be able to run with my ex-S2000! I'm excited to get some KV's on that thing and get a test-ride in it :)

AwdGsx13 I think you are correct in your turbo-per-model-and-year specs, except the 2.7t (twinturbo v6) audi motor came with only K03's. K04's are the 'big' upgrade for them as well as the old 1.8 cars, and honestly, it is a big waste of money. Kinda like upgrading from a 14b to a small16g, except a K04 is *smaller* than a 14b even. :P

Took the car for a spin a while ago, and in addition to the new fun noises it makes, the car feels stronger through out the power band. Most people report 5-9whp gains, and it feels about like that.

lol, i have to work on these cars all day and now come on here and read about it!

I hope everything goes well. If you need some discount VW parts i can get them 10% over cost for you ;)

ahh your right, I wouldn't waste the money. Back when i had mine they told me to upgrade to this turbo? Didn't see the point in wasting the money lol!

Played a little hide-and-go-seek today with a kracka vent:

The factory PCV system SUCKS on these cars, there are SIX revisions to the stock system because they factory valves keep leaking, even at stock boost levels. Each new valve is about $100 from VW. So, one KV in the front, maybe another one in the back. Problem solved!

We were supposed to chip the car this weekend, but there was a mistake with shipping Tony (from EPL)'s equipment here for the flash. Stay tuned, maybe we'll get a downpipe in the meantime ;)
