    well to make a long story short, i blew my turbo yesterday an took it to the shop for them to tell me wut i knew.... SO NOW ITS TIME FOR MY KO4



    but ive been lookign at either the awe kit an the ecs an i have a few questions, well first off the awe comes with software and the ecs doesnt, does that mean ill need to get it or will i just not get as much power as i would with the software, and second question is that i kno with the awe ill need the new exhaust but if im not running as powerfull as the awe an im uisuing the ecs will i still need the exhaust..

    i think that made sence as u can tell im young an a noob, so bare with me

    1) The ECS kit is not really a "kit". It's just the turbo and hardware.

    2) For a full K04 upgrade, you'll also need a) larger injectors, or b) a 5 bar FPR.

    and you'll want the software. If you don't planning on getting the FPR/injectors and software, then I would say it's really not worth it.

    I think you should definitely opt for the AWE kit if you can float the cash. You'll also want the exhaust to compliment the added flow.

    You are better off getting the program and then getting an exhaust done the road. You will not benefit from runnign a KO4 with KO3 software, atleast not to the fullest potential.

    He has the chip on his ECU so you guys would have to figure something out cause I dont beleive you can switch yoru ECUs.
