Ready to race!
I step on it in 4th and I just don't get past the giant suv blocking my vision fast enough. Is there a cure for that?

A Tiguan AWD family SUV with K04 would be a killer setup. But I guess the suspension and brakes would be way too soft to handle the power.

I don't know what you guys are talking about I'm barely tumescent with my K04.

I have my moments when I think that way. But when I realize I drive 100miles+ a day, I'm very very happy with the power I got. Its perfect for a DD and that low end torque is balls deep.

just had the first victim to fall to the k04. two guys in a black mustang with pink flames. yep....GAAAAAAAAY

Fucking win right there. Any mustang that falls at the hands of a K04 is awesome. I still want to run a current gen 5.0L but I'm very very certain that will not come out how I want it to.

Still......I pounded an 08 GT 2 days ago. :D

No Kidding. I'm doing research for an AWD conversion on my MKV. THAT would be AWESOME!

Boner has been softened due to AWE's vague instructions on coolant/oil feed lines.
but on a positive not Grambles set the record straight. when i get home from work tonight i will swap the plug in the turbo cartridge and install AWE coolant line. my GIAC Software will be in today as well today....so i basically have KO4 BLUE BALLZ right now.


But big thanks to Grambles...

No problem man :thumbsup: Much like I said in the Chicago thread, quality control is definitely needed! Glad I could help though!

K04 blue ballz.....definitely not cool. ESPECIALLY if it was caused by AWE in the first place.

i dont have a clue why anyone would buy a AWE kit over an APR kit, given all that DV relocation mess. Its a way less clean setup.

Price. And his location. He mightve gotten a really good deal.

I almost went AWE as I have a shop that would install it for only $299.... compared to the fucking ass load I paid for the APR kit to be installed, however the customer service of both the shop (for the most part) and APR is very good.

Yeah. I was pretty gung ho on the AWE/GIAC kit for a LONG time since they made a lot more power at the time (~30hp+) But then APR came out with V2 and I won the raffle it was a no brainer. If I had to do it again, I would buy the APR kit since it was soooooo easy to install and almost 100% OEM.
