So, the wait is finally over! APR has rolled out the K04 upgrade kit for those transversely mounted VW engines that enthusiasts have been buzzing about. This isn’t just another turbo swap; it’s a game changer. The kit comes packed with everything you need: a K04 turbo, a compressor inlet O-ring, four turbo outlet studs, a manifold-to-turbo gasket, a 4-bar fuel pressure regulator, and a turbo-to-downpipe gasket. If you’re looking to crank up the power on your ride, this is the way to go.
Now, let’s get into the numbers. With just this kit and an aftermarket exhaust, you’re looking at some serious gains. We’re talking about 242 hp and 268 lb-ft of torque on 91 octane, and it gets even better with 93 octane—245 hp and 275 lb-ft. That’s a noticeable bump in power without needing a ton of other mods. And don’t worry, the exhaust isn’t a must-have, but it definitely helps unleash the turbo’s potential.
