nothing that bolts right one really… k04 isn’t that bad - anything else kinda sucks on that stock manifold because it is sooooo tiny/restrictive ---

> [@Daddie](#): > > nothing that bolts right one really… > > k04 isn’t that bad - anything else kinda sucks on that stock manifold because it is sooooo tiny/restrictive I believe in another thread Howie called the K04 “the less shitty” turbo.:lol: I was thinking about buying one until he said that. ---

It is the less shitty. It’s like picking the lesser of two evils. “What do you want to eat today Howie? Dog shit? or Cow shit?” ---

awesome, this helps a lot, he’s trying to decide what way to go he already got rid of the stock manifold, its the same style, just supossed to be better flowing, so hopefully that will help too ---

Get the eliminator kit if you want to retain manifold If you don’t go standalone, I don’t think theres any way to make a 1.8T run well on a big turbo, but thats opinion… ---
