Yes, needs an adapter or a new manifold. The K04 isn't worth it over the K03S as it's much more laggy and can only offer around 30bhp more. If you're going for power, like I said, big turbo is the way to go.
After he's bought my wheels.
The K03s can put out decent power yes but the K04 can put out the same power with much less struggle.
The only real deciding factor is of course the money - the K03 is pretty much a straight swap but you'll be straining the turbo going for the 260-80 region.
As you said, big turbo is the way to go - the T3 seems a popular choice it's easy to find manifolds that actually work unlike the K04 manifolds that overheat and crack, and actually require a strategic dent with a hammer to make them fit.
I'm just looking for the right one to come up - really tempted to try out the one I linked in my first post.
As for the dashboard, mine is fine..
