It gets out of the hole and through the 1/8 mile as fast as any big turbo would and I'm not into doing 130+ mph highway pulls. Also, anything above this would take a more significant investment (time, money and hassle) including strengthening the motor and custom tuning on an ECU that is considerably more complex than previous generations. All this for a return that I just don't see or really have a need for.

K04 = easy with already great performance and no hassles.
In no way am I trying to dismiss the K04, and no doubt, it makes the car much more sporty!!! But what I'm talking about is more geared towards those that like to push the envelope a little more. And if it was made easier, I think more people would have already jumped on board. If APR had a full bolt on GTX28 kit, I venture many would have jumped at the opportunity. Look at the Golf & GTI MKVI's. They also have a K04 option that makes their cars alot faster than stock. And yet they also have a GTX option.
