K04 turbocharger
APR Stage K04
APR PEX carbon sports intake
Millers Oils 5W-40 NT+

The second-generation RS never got the more powerful K04 turbocharger from the factory and its owners had to make do with the weaker K03. But if you want more from your car, it simply isn't enough. That was exactly the case for Dominik, who decided to upgrade from APR Stage 1+ to APR Stage K04.

This upgrade involves an uprated intercooler and a sports intake, both of which were already on the car from earlier. The original turbo was then replaced with a modified K04 to make it compatible with an engine designed for the K03.

APR provides the engine control unit tuning for the bigger turbo. In this case we chose the version that keeps the original catalytic converter. Output is 328 hp and 460 Nm. If the owner decided to replace the catalytic converter with a straight pipe, the car could go up to 360 hp and 518 Nm.
