i am going to be using the s3 injectors (think the 360-380cc at 3 bar) just the last thing i want is the fuel rail pressure to drop and make the engine run lean, i guess the a3 fuel pump will bee running flat out, just thought be better to be safe than sorry!
The only A3 that *might* have a small fuel pump is the AGU, as this runs smaller injectors than later spec engines. I'd talk to someone like Jabbasport, they'll be able to give sound advice.
Unless you are getting the parts cheap etc i'm of the opinion that K04 isn't worth the hassle to upgrade to. I've seen K04 converted cars only make 10bhp/20lb_ft more than well set up K03s 1.8T's, that extra bang is only worth it if it's cheap because things like the downpipe are just a bitch to sort.
