As I mentioned in my A5 post, the VW/Audi 2.0T block puts out some solid horsepower, and you can get a lot more power out of the engine for very little cash by picking up an ECU upgrade from APR, GIAC, or Revo. However, if you’ve got another $3K sitting around, or you feel the need to break the 300hp mark in one fell swoop, then AWE has something for you. The k04 turbo has been around for the early 2006-2008 2.0T for a while now, but if you are the lucky owner of a 2.0T TSI engine then you would have been out of luck until now. AWE is advertising this part as the first K04 turbo for the 2008.5-present 2.0T engine, and that claim does check out. The K04 pushes the 2.0L engine to 315hp and 345 lb-ft torque with a totally stock setup.
AWE added a nice touch to their K04 product page by giving us the power potential of the K04 with different upgrade options considered, as you can see below.
- 315 crank hp and 345 crank torque when using the stock airbox and intercooler system
- 325 crank hp and 346 crank torque when the Audi S3 intercooler is added (see package price above)
- 335 crank hp and 357 crank torque when the Audi S3 intercooler and a cold air intake kit is added
- 350 crank hp and 363 crank torque when the Audi S3 intercooler and a cold air intake kit on race fuel program
- 361 crank hp and 370 crank torque with Audi S3 intercooler, cold air intake, and AWE Fueling Kit on pump fuel program
