Many want Power not many hold it long.........
for what it's worth, the K04-882 has a borg warner part number of: L3M7 13 700G
might be worth contacting a BW distributor here, see if you can get one cheap?
EDIT: never mind, they want $2000+ for one...

Just speaking from experience, i asked Jim on my previous tunes with KO4 and GTx where i wanted the power and to taper it and was told we can do that with ecuteck, and all i got was the same boost coming in at a certain rev range and just felt like shit up top..and thats after a couple of $800 tuns to get the car back and have zero difference in how it drove

@Reedy gcg have a "kit" apparently comes with required fittings, fits to stock dp and mani, they assure me that its characteristics are very close to oem with higher flow capabilities , it's a gt2871 chra. It price is $2350... Now justin (3885288 or what ever user name is) should have some mrt dyno results here. It has a 3" nose on the compressor housing. Was a tidy turbo.
That's wasn't retail price either!
That's a bit exxy.
The contenders so far:
BNR Stage 1 (pricing TBD)
CP-e elevate turbo (A bit overpriced for what it does but an option nonetheless)
CP-E MZR 2.3 DISI Elevate™ Turbo
GTX28r (Needs a 3" inlet pipe)
ATP Turbo GTX28R Bolt-On Turbo Kit MS3
Other supporting mods to do with it:
HPFP (It's time I finally got this) Either Autotech or Corksport
TMIC - Either ETS ($600) or CP-e ($400)
Question: Who has data on Cp-e vs ETS intercoolers? The Cp-e one is much cheaper, is the ETS one any better?
Alternatively, there is a replacement K04 available from Edge that is seemingly well priced:
Mazda OEM Turbocharger
From memory the person testing the CPE said it wasn't worth the coin...
There was someone testing tmic's on MSF a while back, will see if I can find it...
Just from everything I've seen, the ETS flows more air, but I'm guessing for your car you'd be more interested in cooling capacity than how much extra air it flows...

the corksport TMIC is great value i only swapped mine to an ETS after i went meth and it maxed out around 270kw, for what you are going to use your car for the C/s is perfect unless you can get a 2nd hand ETS or CPE cheaper
as you were looking at the k04 vs 2860 idea
APR Presents: 2.0 TSI/TFSI K04 Turbocharger System!
yeah it's on a 2.0L audi, but it's the only thing i can find...
that's the GT2860 rather than the GTX, but it looks to be a very close replacement...
it says that they couldnt spool it any faster as it would surge, so, i'd say you'd get the response you want with an extra 0.3L of capacity

It might spool a fraction later in the RPM range, but is that actually going to make a difference to response when over say 3000rpm and jumping on the throttle?

Don't know if it's possible to get a smaller hotside, or if it only comes in the one size...
Might be worth sending @EdgeAutosport.com a message?
What pressure wastegate actuator am I gonna want? I want a 16PSI tune.
With a 3" inlet on the turbo will I need a new MAF housing or is the existing one 3" already? Will I only need to replace the TIP and the rest of the intake will be fine?

Suggestions on a good TIP?
