Does your other sites include ECS: http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B5_A4-...Kit/ES1892044/

What price range are you hoping/expecting to pay?

Here is anothe informative link: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2796367

If you haven't tried a search, use the advance search feature and enter "k04 turbo" in the key word field and then select on the r-h side the forum you want to search. I selected A4. Hit Search Now and you will end up with a lot of different threads.

Took the time to put in the above just in case you haven't used the advance search feature before.

Good Luck

i don't believe thats true. They probably blow when some idiot keeps it way too high on boost, and also remember about the tune as well. Sometimes it the tuners fault.

just look at the turbo on ebay and compare at other websites. If i was going to buy a ko4 then i would take a good look and probably end up ordering it on ebay, but i would just buy turbo. and next you gotta get some software as well, be smart.
