- Hey y’all! I’m finally getting the k04 on, it wasn’t as bad as we thought I was. I hope this kinda helped anyone that was trying to do the same. If you have any questions feel free to drop them in the comments, also don’t forget to subscribe!

Good stuff bro
What intake is that? How much power are you making with the KO4?
I bought a k04 for my Audi b6. How do I calibrate the wastegate before I install it?
How's it going. I just got done with new piston and rings, sent the head out for a rebuild on my 2012 audi a4 quattro 2.0 and I was thinking about upgrading to the k04 since the turbo didn't really work right anyway. What is your opinion on brand and what else will I need to complete? Turbo, tune etc. ?
A RECENT VIDEO. I’m ordering a techtonics tubing DP to fix my shitty custom exhaust shot DP and also while I’m at it I’m going to order a Stigan K04. A lot of guys have had good luck with it, and they have I think a 2 year unlimited mile warranty.
Good work
Joshk326 thanks man🤘🏼
Nice vid. Thanks
Thanks for the video, I have to change the turbo, the injectors and the fuel pump on my 1.8T A4 B7 then drive 250 miles in one day tomorrow, so I guess... Wish me luck.
How did it go
@@seanmcsharry2004 Broke one of the bolts in the old turbo, so I had to go buy a new one at the hardware store which was a bit longer.
Cut it off, trimmed it, installed new turbo, found out there are no studs on the new turbo to fit the catalytic converter, tried with bolts, did not work because the cat did not line up perfectly (I had the car on jackstands and couldn't remove the exhaust).
Found old BMW M52 head bolts, cut them, trimmed them into studs, worked beautifully.
Arrived home at 4am.
Then the ones who did the E85 tune with the new turbo told me the wastegate on the new one is impossible to deal with (opens and closes brutally and randomly).
Managed to change the wastegate for the old one WITHOUT REMOVING THE TURBO, got scars everywhere on my hands.
But now it works.
Went from 163hp to 210hp and 250 to 350Nm (don't know how much that is in lbs.ft), for a front-wheel drive daily driver it's okay now.
Would I do it again ?
Well... I would've changed the wastegate when I had the chance that's for sure.
@@French20cent Wow that seems like a whole ordeal 🤣 glad it worked out in the end though makes me second guess whether I want to go through it. What air intake are you running?
@@seanmcsharry2004 Honestly like he said in the video, it's not that bad, I didn't even have to remove the intake to change the wastegate (you have to when you change the turbo though).
If you get a Maxspeedingrods or even a knock-off Maxspeedingrods (maybe it's what I got, don't know), check the wastegate, if it's gold and has a crappy white seal where the shaft runs through, change it to the one you have on the stock turbo.
Also you'll have to source studs for the catalytic converter, you can get away with bolts if you can remove the rest of the exhaust and have more wiggle room with the cat, but I didn't.
I have stock air intake and stock exhaust, it's a daily, I don't want to mess with vacuum hoses, filter maintenance and such (also the factory one does the job just fine).
@@French20cent really appreciate the info my man 🙏
Wanna know some shit. So the K03s, the one you removed, actually has a larger compressor wheel than the K04! The only reason the K04 is superior, is due to it having a larger hot side/turbine wheel than the K03s. People actually take the larger compressor wheel of a K03s, and attach it onto the larger K04 turbine housing. That’s pretty much what a frankenturbo is.
The K03s compressor wheel is only bigger by like 3-4mm or something. Nothing crazy
How did you prime the turbo?
Yo I’m thinking of upgrading the ko3 to a ko4 on my b5 A4 1.8t. Will I have to tune it or will it be fine if I leave it stock
You can run it with just the k04 until you get a tune. But honestly its not gonna run the best. You will need a tune, bigger injectors and more than likely high flow cat/cat delete.
can you make vide for oil catch can how install on this car
Do you have a link to where you bought the turbo kit?
Borg warner
Quick question bro I just finished my k04 install that I got from ebay and I just got the k04 upgrade tune but now I got overboost engine code. Any advice? Thanks in advance
tomtom_west Mine did the same thing! It ended up being the n75 valve on mine. It basically like a boost controller. Mine would always under boost. I changed it with a new one and it’s been fine since
@@mr.boosted9983 so under boosting and over boosting the n75 would fix? And another question what tune are you running? I really appreciate your time man thank you
tomtom_west I changed mine and haven’t had the code pop back up. I’m running a tune from Boost Dynamic Tuning.
@@mr.boosted9983 thank you
tomtom_west anytime man! I should have a video of the tune on the K04 somewhere on my channel.
Did you reuse the oil and coolant lines ?
Jonathan Santiago yes
How’s that ko4 life going man any noticeable improvements in power after the tune ?
Itai Barretero it’s going good I got the tune back and had an issue with my camshaft sensor installed it today, gonna be making a video of it probably tomorrow!
Ahh ok well I’ll stay tuned bro
Joel Ramirez 144,xxx and yes
@@mr.boosted9983 hi, still going?
Do yo have to tune it when swapping turbo?
No, it will run better if you do tho
@@mr.boosted9983 I have a 05 A4 1.8 my ko3 went bad, I'm going with the k04. I just wanna be on the safe side.
@@samueljuste5719 You should be fine with the factory tone
@@mr.boosted9983 thank you I appreciate the help
How’s it been/it do on stock tune my ko3 is shitting itself
I have 145k miles on my b6
Whats the exact name of that turbo? I need the same k04 but cant find it anywhere.. thanks
Anthony Bedard it’s just a borgwarner k04 I got it off ecs let me see if I can find the link
Mr. Boosted thanks man! I need that exact one, because on my 1.8t 2003 , ive got the same downpipe and same headers as your car . The downpipe (3bolts, and that 3 bolts with the hidden bolts in the exausth side magnifold » dont know much English sorry man aha

This is the exact one I got
@@anthonybedard3358 I highly recommend the Xs Power K04 Xlc its the one I got its a k04 with a mini gt28 internals almost so puts out a lil more power than the regular K04
FUCK YES
Tuners brain does not like the word stock? Well my gf still thinks my tiny b4qtr is still stock so it depends on the wiew 😇. Boosted you running stock insides?
janek m stock internals, it held pretty good. I was at the limit of what I could do due to oem clutch & stock internals.

@@mr.boosted9983 1 blew up a AGU few months ago and now gouin aeb full forged insides and middle range turbo like k04-065. Not k04-150. Less lag quicker to reakt . Higher boost trying to build it to last winter is come in so tiny whood be a awesome winter daily. I hope you fall back in love whit the German boost boxes.
janek m oh I still love them! I got rid of the Audi in the video and went to a mk7 gli
yo man you need to answer your subscribers if you want to have a successful youtube channel and continue to gain followers..people what to know about the products you are using.. should have put gt28r in there if you were gonna upgrade.
