Default turbo upgrade?

It's kind of hard to upgrade the K04 on the S40's because of the integrated exhaust manifold design. However ATP has turbo kit for the cars using a new manifold and turbo, I don't remember if it comes with a new downpipe or not though. Also there is some success in using the K16 turbofold off the Euro Focus RS.
I think that's the best way to go, but it's also a lot of money not including the tuning that it will require.

More info here...

Could just go with a tune if you aren't looking for too much of a gain, since the new turbo would need a tune anyway?
