it had only done 39'000 miles just getting the standard one back on-i was thinking bout a upgrade but that brings its own problems


....When my K03 failed (wastegate crack in the manifold) I went through the same thought process about replacing it with a K04. Would have been quite a lot of expense though and I my KoniFSD's had also failed and I wanted VWR-KW-V3's (not cheap). The thread is here : -

Linky : - Troubleshooting a Boost Leak....

The GTI (as opposed to the Ed30) will accept and work well with a K04 but the Ed30 is probably better suited in my opinion.

No probs mate. Those forge valves are tricky to install. It could well be a leak from there.
