Jetta 2.0T TSI - K04 Turbo Install

Join us as we install the HPA Motorsports Hybrid K04 Turbo kit into the Mk5 2.0T Jetta Wolfsburg. We flash the ECU with the Eurodyne K04 Base Map and take the car out for some pulls. What a difference! The car keeps pulling all the way to redline even with the stock intercooler and turbo outlet pipe still in place. This is exactly what the car needed. Enjoy the video!

lmao leave the oil changes to the professionals. love this guy

I know you guys didn't intend for this to be an instructional video, but it wouldn't have hurt (and probably might save a few people) if you'd mention priming the turbo before firing it up. But kudos for taking on such a daunting project and having the confidence to actually videodocument it.

Just picked up the K04 from HPA, its a great investment, and fun, but work, to install!

"this is it though" famous last words

3:12 Drinking while doing a turbo installation???
The warranty for that turbo install was immediately voided.

I've got a stage 2 MKV GLI myself. I haven't done the k04 swap yet, but when you started listing off all the things you've had to replace it was like you reading off my receipts 🤣 I went through two water pumps before switching to a Graf cast aluminum one.

[Japplesnap]

How much did you lose on the low end? I'm considering going to a K04, but I love the instant, low end torque that I get from my K03. I just wish the K04 could provide that same kind of feeling, with no lag and immediate boost.

Next time u guys don't have to remove the turbo mounts on the head. Just the top nuts on the manifold. Those are just a guide. Nice install 👌

Have a franken turbo on my mk5 put like 8 cars on a Focus rs today love mine

[nikosraptis]

Very good job guys!!! Do you had to replace the injectors with bigger ones, intercooler and upgrade the high pressure fuel pump ?

[half_r_mk]

hi guys, this is another great video as i'm planning on removing my turbo. On the Axle part, did you guys fully remove the axle, or you only removed the bolts from the transmission side and was able to move the axle to give room underneath to access the turbo lines?

Update:

I think after watching over the video, looks like you guys didn't pull the drive shaft all the way. Hmmm...I plan on pulling the turbo from the bottom side so it looks like for mine, i'll have to remove the entire drive shaft to see if I can pull my turbo from the bottom. It's a big turbo also, a Precision 5858. I'm replacing it with the same spec turbo and rebuilding the old one.

I’m scared to even tune my 06 Jetta with a FSI BPY with the mileage I’m at right now... 252, 500. I have done some tasteful cosmetic upgrades. Wheels, tint, chrome accents inside the car, mk6 radio, knocked an inch and half off my shifter for reduced throw, rain guards, rear windshield lip, spoiler, resonator delete with a stainless steel high flow muffler (sounds pretty good), also have it sitting on race land ultimos, I’m sure I’m forgetting a few other things too.

I'm using this as an instructional video. My k03 went out, so I found a k03 to replace it, with k04 internals, so I'm hoping it'll be fairly straight forward. Seems very similar to replacing a turbo on a 2022 trailblazer (I've done probably 10 to 15 of those, (GM Service Technician)) I couldn't really find any instructional videos on a Jetta though. But once I saw this, I was like, dang heck ya, this will work perfectly. So that's my project this weekend. Hoping everything works out. I have a 2010 Wolfsburg Edition with the 2.0T and DSG. I'm pretty excited to see what kinda extra power it puts down. They said it bumps it up from 200 to 255 without a tune, but I guess we'll see.

[truckgum]

Loving the JTi vids . Quick qsn, would you get the gains before the tune ? Also my Jetta has 225k km 🙀 with an auto dsg would k04 update be advisable. Single owner extremely well maintained.

[ryantornai]

I'm also having on same path as you. Had 09 GLI for 2 years and slowly have been modding more, when I intended to not go past a simple tune. k04 is on the way. I'll also be starting off with the eurodyne base tune

[edjr]

Good Video still trying to decide if I should get this turbo. Did you change the injectors on it or are you using the stock injector? I have an MKV Jetta Fsi.

[AdammP]

I noticed this on my 2.0tfsi when I had the turbo off.. howcome the exhaust wheel and wastegate are snow white? Mine was the exact same as fhat.. Surely this is an indication of running too lean ? Any ideas

[teezy_s]

Unitronic FTW ... great upload man .. will be doing this soon on my mk5

[Evisceration]

love all your videos boys, keep em comin
