The K04 and Injectors are a straight bolt on as long as you have all the correct gaskets/seals etc.

Don't forget the DV relocation Pipework & Intercooler to throttle body pipework.

Here is a list of what you need

If you are going the K04 route why not buy a ED30 engine, stronger rods and lower compression.
I believe there still one for sale here on the forum.

Maybe a little expensive, but how much would you be paying for a stock GTI engine and then having the expense of the conversion parts and still having stock internals!
