Default new Upgrades, please help

Hiya

Wondering if u guys could help me for a bit here, deciding if this would be a good decision to upgrade my turbo, without alot of other things id have to get...for an 03 TurboS beetle.

This turbo, will it fir Bolt on?

This inlet pipe..

And these new set op boost hoses.
http://www.20squared.com/catalog/pro...15fc3b9caa9624

I just want to make sure, everything will fit, and I wont have to be spending some extra $$ on something i didnt plan to..

I do have revo Stage 1, upgraded DV and I have a 3Bar and 4Bar FPR.What else would I roughly need to change so that turbo can run smoothly?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah the K04-001 is a direct bolt-on. I believe (95%) the intake pipe will work. And it looks like the boost hose kit should work. To get the full effect of the K04 or even your K03s with the REVO stg I you should put on a 2.5" exhaust and DP with a full flow cat.

any suggestions from where can i buy the DP, cause I have a local shop than can make the exhaust, but, i want to purchase the DP already made, just to avoid weird stuff with the sensors.

You should call your REVO dealer to find the answer to the first question. You could also have it dynoed and have them check your air/fuel ratio. I have no idea on the spring I have not experimented with mine yet.

talked to these guys, and this is what I am getting, they also said the k04 isnt worth. I believe some extra $$ and get the max out of it...they said Ill just need imporved injectors, and they recommend to change the manifold.
