Yeah why?

That's like getting Jessica Alba to your house naked, and just 'looking'.

LOL.

Over a k03 you would see a big difference, but you would also see a big difference in price.

A well tuned k03s which comes in hard and holds very good midrange power would easily keep up with a mapped k04.  k04 would also need a lot more bolt on bits than a k03s.

you wouldn't be able to just swap the turbo,
How would the engine know it has to supply more fuel without a map?
Besides that Im sure things like the injectors would be way out their range plus other things.

The car would drive like poo by just wacking a k04 on, Plus Im sure if it did run it would shortly die as it would be running lean
