[BiturboS4] New S4 owner

[California Fields]

I'm far from the expert but what I've heard is that the current software
(GIAC-x, Abt, etc.) can run K04s just fine. However, I do hear issues with
fuel mixture control (sometimes too lean or rich). This may be more a
function of the fuel injectors and/or pressure regulator...but not sure.
People have prompted the software tuners to come out with K04 specific (but
unique from Stage III) software for K04-but-otherwise-stock people.
