Description
Finally, the wait is over! APR has dropped its K04 upgrade kit for the transversely mounted VW crowd, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer. This isn’t just another turbo; it’s a serious upgrade that can take your ride to the next level. The kit comes packed with everything you need to swap out your stock turbo for the K04, including a compressor inlet O-ring, turbo outlet studs, a manifold to turbo gasket, and even a 4-bar fuel pressure regulator. Plus, you get a turbo to downturn gasket to complete the setup.
What’s really cool about this kit is how straightforward the installation is. If you’ve got a solid exhaust system in place, you’re already halfway there. This turbo swap can significantly boost your horsepower and torque. I’ve seen it firsthand—on 91 octanes, we’re talking about 242 hp and 268 lb.-ft of torque. Bump that up to 93 octanes, and you’re looking at 245 hp and 275 lb-ft. And just to clarify, you don’t have to make any other modifications besides the exhaust to see these gains.
The K04 Turbo System Kit includes a cast stainless steel exhaust manifold and turbine housing, which not only looks great but also stands up to the heat. The CNC-machined billet aluminum compressor wheel is a nice touch, ensuring you get that quick spool-up you crave. Weighing in at just 31 lbs., it’s manageable yet robust. The kit also comes with two normal M12 and M14 crush washers to make sure everything seals up tight.
