New to the forum and I was wondering if there is a turbo upgrade or a bigger turbo that I can install that doesn't require rework of the engine. I have installed an AWE intake system, Milltek Exhaust and had a chip upgrade. I would like to find a turbo bolt on kit if available that can give me more horsepower (I will add an intercooler) without an engine overhaul.
Thanks

Hey Wayne..Im about 90% sure that APR's K04 Turbo Kit is the one for you, but U will have to use APR Chip software.. Turbo kit includes everything U need.. Like all turbos it does still require some work..Heres the Direct link to the K04 Turbo KitAPR Audi A4 B7 2.0T FSI S3 K04 Conversion Package .. Hope this helps.. Regards.. Richard..

 

Thanks Richard, it says that one is for 2005.5 to 2006 so I will have to check and see if it works for me.

I don't know if I would want to be running 300+ crankhorsepower on a tiptronic...

I'd ask APR what they think.

 

That's a good question, I will be sure to ask.
Thanks
Wayne

 

I'd go further and contact ZF Transmissions. I know the 5HP19FLA on my A6 can handle 300HP max, and even the 5HP24FLA/HD on the RS6 was blowing up at a bone stock 450HP. If you're planning on upgrading your engine to that level you should consider installing a heavy duty transmission cooler. Remember that heat is the enemy of transmissions.
