A.W.E. Tuning A3 2.0T K04 Kit Update

[Alex/AWE]

Big power. Big, reliable, usable, tire-roasting power. That’s exactly what we set about to make with our K04 Turbo Kit for the A3/Mk5 2.0T.

As seen in some recent issues of European Car magazine as a Proven Feature. Click here to read more:

With some clever components that we designed and also manufacture in house, along with some cutting edge tuning from GIAC, we've adapted this bruiser of a turbo to the 2.0T engine with satisfying results:
- 315 crank hp and 345 crank torque when using the stock airbox and intercooler system
- 325 crank hp and 346 crank torque when the Audi S3 intercooler is added
- 335 crank hp and 357 crank torque when the Audi S3 intercooler and a cold air intake kit is added
- 350 crank hp and 363 crank torque when the Audi S3 intercooler and a cold air intake kit on race fuel program

“Why doesn’t your kit include a High Flow Fuel Pump and Injectors?”
This is one of the most common questions we get about our K04 Kit. During the development of this kit we did extensive testing on the limits of the stock fueling system. Our K04 kit was designed with those limits in mind. We, along with GIAC, data logged time and again to ensure that our kit will run at these power levels safely.

We will be offering a High Flow Fuel Pump and Injectors, as well as special GIAC programming to take advantage of these parts, as an add on option in the future. It will add more power and is designed as a stage upgrade to our current kit. No wasted money or labor installing our basic kit now and our fueling upgrade later.

European Car Magazine recently tested our Fueling Upgrade, consisting of our In-house designed High Flow Fuel Pump upgrade and Injectors, for the 2.0T K04 with some very impressive results!

31 Horsepower and 30 Lb Ft of Torque at the Wheel!

This test was done on a DSG equipped A3 with our Mk5 K04 kit and Turboback Exhaust. The only parts added since the last test was our 2.0T Fueling Upgrade and an aftermarket intake.

The best part about this kit? It's in stock and ready to ship!


The Complete K04 Kit:


Optional OEM S3 FMIC: an effective and economical way to cool the intake charge. On its own this FMIC is good for a 10 crank horsepower gain.

Does this kit come with the GIAC programing/tuning software, or is that purchased on the side.

[SoCalRS4]

i think with a better fmic there may be higher gains.

This kit, as with all of our turbo kits, comes equipped with a Pump Fuel Program from GIAC.

As with stock turbo cars, you have the option of adding on other programs; such as a 100+ Octane Race Gas program, Valet Mode, Stock Program and Security Kill Mode; with the GIAC Handheld Flashloader.

Alex,

I am just waiting for the A3 2.0T Quattro to make its way to North America. Although DSG is only option, I just want to make sure before I sell my B5 S4, that I can get the power I want.

Was a little confused with the K04 kit, this is what I was looking for:

- 335 crank hp and 357 crank torque when the Audi S3 intercooler and a cold air intake kit is added

Are these numbers including the fueling? or does fueling add another approx 30 whp bringing the total to close to 400 crank hp?!?

If this is the case (the latter) I'm in!

Those numbers are for our base K04 Kit with the S3 Intercooler and cold air intake. They do not factor in our Fueling Upgrade.

^^ Sweet, thanks for the info Alex. I was going to go with the APR Stage III kit from ECS, however after their crappy service and rediculous shipping (time and charges), I will be ordering this K04 Kit from your guys in a few months, when its time for the A3s engine surgery ;)

Well that made my decision that much easier! Countdown to Fall begins.

Bump for a great company, service, and products

This was asked in the thread about our K04 Kit in the 2.0T Technical section on VW Vortex and I thought you might find this interesting. It highlights one of the unique features of our K04 Kit: The ability to be used with ANY aftermarket intake.

Is it just me or the only part missing from the base kit is, how does the stock DV return air back into the intake side?

Terrific question! This is achieved through two parts we designed in house, our Turbo Discharge Adapter and our Diverter Valve Adapter.

In our K04 Kit, air coming out of the turbo flows through our Turbo Discharge Adapter, into our Diverter Valve Adapter and back into the compressor inlet.

There are multiple benefits to this approach. Installation is easier, the air has a shorter, more direct path back into the compressor inlet, and it allows the use of any aftermarket intake. S3 Diverter Valve Conversions are not compatible with most aftermarket intakes; you must either modify your aftermarket intake or go back to the stock airbox. Our kit, thanks to these two pieces, can be used on any aftermarket without modification.

We specially machine each K04 Housing before shipping in order to allow the Diverter Valve Adapter to fit.

It’s more work for us, but it provides you with the best all around K04 Kit on the market. It is easier to install then the S3 Conversions available on the market and allows you to use any aftermarket intake without modification.
