I'm going to have to go back to page one and read through all these pages, but wanted to post here to say my install went smoothly, no leaks or issues thus far. I've got about 400 miles on mine, but will probably wait another hundred or so to really get on it.
One thing I do notice immediately is my intake is MUCH louder now that it was with the Stage2 tune. I'm attributing this to increase in air flow from the larger turbo.
I did get one soft code for P2261 turbo boost pressure not detected. I can certainly build boost however, and searched around to find this is most likely my GFB DV+. I'll order a rev D to fix this issue.
Here are some pics of my install:

I thought the Rev D's were causing issues with holding boost pressure?

You sure you're not confusing the C? Everything I've read said to upgrade to revD when going K04 if you had a C. I also read the same thing about the GFB DV+ if youre using both springs. I could be wrong though, I'm a little late to the K04 party. Hopefully someone else can chime in and set us straight.

Rev. D is what you want and even APR recommends it over an aftermarket solution.

So y'all don't recommend the GFB DV+ for K04? Just the Rev D? Just making sure before I spend the money on the DV+.
I was told if you remove the spring it stops the issue. However I pulled mine and put in a rev d.

Sure, more air flow helps as well
But the bulk of the noise increase is because there is no turbo muffler on the K04. You don't need a GFB+, but it's not a bad thing to have (I don't think). I wouldn't buy it again if I were starting over (personally).

Anyone here running the Arm Motorsport intercooler with their K04? I'm not sure if it'll be sufficient and wanted to get some input. Trying to find a nice intercooler that will suppport K04 power but also won't cost $1k.

Get a Neuspeed.
Had it on my K04 car for months and it worked great. If you were local I'd offer you mine, but shipping might kill the deal. It was really easy to install as well, great instructions included with the intercooler. If moddedeuros still carries it you can use the forum coupon code and get it for around $650 IIRC.

I left my stock intercooler in there.
