gilim ,
i reccomend you to read the following threads :

http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=108776

http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109093

those are threads i started when i was interested in this turbo kit.

my conclusion was in the end that if i go with this kit i would either do a custom tune through Unitronic or Beg APR to release me their software (will require injectors / Intake Change).

your conclusions might be different.

Wouldn't think you would have to beg APR as they will supply you a map if you have pieced together your own K04 upgrade package.

Read towards the bottom of the page.

http://www.goapreu.com/products/turbo_trans20t_k04.htm

"For users who have pieced the kit together on their own, software is now available separately from the kit. The software requires the OEM S3 K04 Turbocharger, OEM S3 Injectors, APR High Pressure Fuel Pump and Full APR Exhaust. Customers with existing 2.0T APR software may purchase software at a discounted price."

I know its a different turbo, but if they will do it for one, they should do it for others.

doesn't work that way.
they sell their k04 software but they don't sell their stage iii software
you also need their injectors and intake in order for their software to work.

Not blowing smoke up Jonny's arse, but his K04 wiped the floor with their all singing-all dancing BT car at Inters this year on the 1/4 mile. I know that's no definitive proof of power/capability etc etc.... but it seems a lot of money to go no faster.
Sideways yo!

Think its more to do with power to weight.  Which in its self proves a point.
