Hi guys I'm thinking about going down the k04 road, I have done alot of work and spent quite a bit of money on her. It's up to 229 bhp on a aum lump. I was wondering how much more I would get out of a k04 turbo and what addtional parts I would need and what k04 to go for.My other concern was its on 103000 on the clock will a bigger turbo cause more stress to the engine.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
