K04 setup on AGU
« on: 28 December 2014, 14:41 »
Hi, I've been looking into turbo options for my AGU and have found that a k04 to k03/s downpipe adapter is available. This adapter should cut the cost / hassle of the k04 upgrade, but it has also made me wonder what else would be needed.
Starting from the top - I have a stage 2 K03 AGU (fmic, pipercross filter, decat / 3" downpipe, Forge 007p)
I'll also be needing these mods:
Fuel injectors
3" maf / TIP
and a 3 or 5 Bar fuel pressure regulator(?)
k04 turbo (with oil feeds?)



k03/s to k04 adapter -




Is there anything else that i have missed and does this k04 adapter look like a good buy?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for being vague haha, a guy on the vag cars / car parts Facebook group has started producing them.

The post always seems to dissapear whenever I go to look at it, but the guy seems to post it quite frequently.

The easiest way IMO would be to have the outlet of the K04 cut and shut with a K03 as beach buggy turbos do. The only thing you'd have to look into then would be the TIP

That's a shame and when you say all I need is a tip, what about the 3" maf, injectors and the fuel pressure regulator?
Surely those are still required too?


Edit -  found the adapter on ebay

Sorry I meant as a bolt on turbo, wasn't including hardware like the injectors etc. As a rule you'll need whatever came on the K04 equipped cars, you won't need a 4bar FPR unless you go for a Revo map though

Ah okay thanks, just out of interest, why would it only be needed with a revo map? Do they tune it to a higher spec or something?
