Title: K04 conversion

Considering doing this in the future once ive got all the mods on my sig done! So, What else do you need apart from the turbo obviously and the injectors? How much are we talking? And finally how reliable is it, I wouldn't want to do it if I'd have to be forking out all the time repairing it.

Wow, so is it the turbo and injectors the only things needed?

No, you also have to relocate the DV amongst other things...

sorry, i can see it got misunderstood, i meant that i haven't had any extra parts changed due to the extra BHP. Only changed spark plugs and oil every 10k kilometers. As said you need to relocate your DV from Turbo to in front of the car.  :smiley:

Ha ok! How much of a pain is it to relocate the dv?
