Hello I'm new to this I own an 06 mk5 that has a busted linkage on the wastegate I was looking at replacing the whole turbo with a.k04 I know more goes into that swap then just slapping a k04 in so my question is after or before k04 install what tune has to be done to car or ecu ? and is this k04 turbo worth doing

can anyone give any advice?

If you go K04 you'll also need Golf R injectors, an upgraded HPFP (high pressure fuel pump), and possibly different spark plugs. You should also make sure the engine is, overall, in good running condition. There are a number of tuners that offer K04 tunes for the FSI motor. Best to choose whoever is most convenient based on your location.

Oh and a high flow down pipe. I don't know of any K04 tunes that run with the stock exhaust unless you're going for a modest bump in power.
