just bought a 2000 plate audi a3 1.8t quattro, im not fantastic with tuning but its had abit done to it already heres the info i got when i bought it

Engine-
Ko3s turbo

Custom made backbox (exhausts-uk)
All vaccum pipes replaced

i want to put a K04-01/015 turbo on it as i believe they fit the same as the ko3s, do i need anything else apart from the unit you can buy from ebay shops for around 240-300 quid? And will i need it remapping? . Also would a new manifold be needed/benificial and if so what sort am i looking at, again if i needed it remapped after the turbo was fitted could i wait until the manifold was or what order would i need to do it in?
sorry for the basic questions, i just want a bit more power and dont have much clue as to what im doing and dont want to wreck the car as at the monent its driving fine, he told me it was running at about 220bhp
