The A.W.E. K04 Kit for the 2002-2005 A4 consists of K04-15 turbo,
A.W.E./GIAC software, larger injectors, all gaskets, and Bosch spark
plug set. This kit utilizes the larger K04 015 turbo, with our
specially designed GIAC software, to good effect. This A.W.E. exclusive
transforms your 1.8T into a lightning fast, yet factory-reliable,
rocket ship.
Dyno developed, track tested. Hundreds of hours of tuning and field
usage has resulted in a finely tweaked kit that delivers the goods! The
cost per hp of this kit is tough to beat, as is its ease of bolt-on
install and factory appearance.
The key to the power improvements
is the industry leading software from GIAC. Many hours were spent
studying the complex programming of the Motronic fuel injection found
on these vehicles, and determining how to integrate all the essential
maps for repeatable, predictable power improvements. Final tuning of
the fuel mixture, ignition timing advance, boost level, and monitoring
of the associated Exhaust Gas Temperatures was completed on the A.W.E.
Mustang load-type dyno, to ensure safe performance in the real world.
The
software of each kit is tailored to the specific requirements of the
vehicles, so that a minimum of part replacements is needed to fit the
larger K04 turbo. The stock intercooler and piping are retained,
keeping the final price of the kits and associated install labor
affordable by all. Outward appearances are totally stock OEM. Please
note that a full flow exhaust system from the catalytic converter back
is required for use with this turbo.
Dyno results and driving
impressions reveal an extremely broad powerband, with usable torque as
low as 2000 rpms, and hard pulling horsepower as high as 6700 rpms.
This much usable power makes for a very satisfying experience behind the wheel!
