I know, but it still bothers me for an unknown reason.
Every car, every desk, pretty much anyplace I will be sitting for more than 15 minutes at a time.
Only time I really use it is on vacay when I take a bunch of pictures with it, and do social bullshit.
Been holding off as well.
Last (only) season for the NT05's on the B7, trying to wring the last miles out of them.
B8 has shiny new Winters waiting as well.
It never fails though, as soon as I switch over, within 1 week, we get a nice streak of 50-60 degree weather.
I'll know it's time when I'm in a ditch..
Who are you telling, I'm the biggest K04 fan ever.....
K04's are magical on the this motor, instant spool, excellent power band, no stressing about rods or valvetrain builds.
Good balanced power.
Sadly, 99% of Big Turbo builds take forever, have 900 pitafalls, and after a dyno, the owner sells or never drives it. Mostly out of fear of something breaking.
I say keep it simple.
Keep it 2.7,valve-train, bolt on twins, china rods, 30psi = 600-700awhp.
Cool, let us know how it turns out when you spend more money getting the fabrication and fitment done than you ever imagined.
There is a thread on AZ tracking a single turbo build, read through it......
As always, the K.I.S.S. theory applies here.
As you probably know, people have made 600-800awhp on twins, hell you can easily make 700awhp on 100% stock intake & exhaust manifolds with bolt on turbo's.
If /when I ever ditch the K04's it will be for a ARD or similar GT28RS kit, china rods and call it a day.

That's a Turbo S PDK that traps about 130 stock....
