Default a little bit of advice?

Hi guys,

I am looking to buy myself a few things, and i sort of need some advice or guidance...

I am looking at this K03 Turbo for $241 CAD,
K03 K-03 TURBO CHARGER AUDI A4 1.8T GOLF VW PASSAT GTI on eBay.ca (item 230345728966 end time 26-Jun-09 22:15:56 EDT)
I tried to look for the K04 but its too much for my pocket.
Now my question is do I need any other upgrades if i put this turbo?

Another one, Turbo Timer,
Audi A4 1.8T TT S4 Swoosh Electronic Turbo Timer on eBay.ca (item 250419715721 end time 05-Jul-09 07:27:35 EDT)
Do I need it? Is it recommended?

I am looking for a Blow Off Valve, one that is not too loud but louder than stock, cheap so it doesnt break my pockets...

also do i need lowering springs or what do i need to lower the car?

thanks

mmm.. depending on ur budget.. it varies.

these are for 1+ stage anything u want more, goes beyond 2+ stage.
chip = $500 (best bang for buck)
fuel injectors = approx. $300 (tt225)
exhaust = $600-900
bov/dv = $30-110

if u do get a k04, u might want to invest on an FMIC or DSMIC

wanthema, thanks a lot..

what i want, is to sort of keep the fuel economy good for when i dont push it, sort of like having 2 programs for the ecu, stock and performance....

i am really considering putting in the stage 1+ chip, do i need fuel injectors to go with it or not necessarily? what about exhaust? i am looking to do all these but over time, would you recommend buying them in a certain order?

i am thinking chip and bov first and then injectors and after exhaust?
the reason i am saying this is because i am looking to get some rims and lower it a bit too so thats another load of money.

good thing i dont have to worry about labor tho...

thanks a lot for the help so far...


P.S.: what are FMIC and DSMIC? sorry newbie question i know...
