Just wanted to update this, car is running great. Got my ECU back from Tyrolsport(amazing service) and the thicker washer solved everything.
This CTS kit is priced very competitively, but does not include a few key components for install(Oetiker clamp and coolant line washer). Not a big deal, but a pain in the ass to find out during install. Also pretty disappointing considering Clay confirmed I received the right washers before I started.

The amount of down time not mentioned originally could REALLY be a key play in the install game. I hope people can source what they need prior to installing.

haha yeah, spent many hours in awe at why the bolt wouldn't thread. took less than a minute with the thicker washer.

I hate to bump an old topic but couldnt find any info, but CTS k04s are on sale once and again and they now have an updated kit similar to the IE that use a DV adapter plate instead of relocation. Do you still need a thick coolant washer?

You should need the thicker washer regardless of the K04 "brand." They're all Borg Warner K04's besides HPA.
If the CTS kit doesn't come with the washer (which I thought it does), here's a link: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine...s/copper-sealing-washer-priced-each/n0138144/

It does look like it includes a washer in the picture of the new kit, but not sure if it's the "thick" one needed to install without issues like in the op of this topic. Ill pick it up anyway if I get the kit to prevent issues.
I got the CTS K04 kit in October 2017 and the washers included with kit were correct. The included Oetiker clamp however was NOT the correct size(to small). Had to use a worm gear clamp. No issues.
