If you are talking about a K04 then you will need the TIP from either an AWD or a NS TIP for AWD the AWW and later K03 turbo use a different TIP.
So here is the breakdown.
1) AWD replacing with:
K04 you can use your stock TIP or replace with a NS AWD TIP
AWW K03 you will need an AWW TIP or NS AWW TIP (I think that they make one)
2) AWW replacing with:
K04 you will need an OEM AWD TIP or a NS AWD TIP
AWD K03 why would you do this?
As far a DP's are concerned your stock DP will bolt up just fine with either an AWW K03 or a K04-001. Also all of the aftermarket DP's designed to fit the stock turbo will bolt up just fine as well.
Do you need to change the DP? No you don't
have to but it will improve things. If you have to choose between changing the DP wehn installing a new turbo and changing the TIP then I would do the TIP since it is harder to install than the DP and it woud make sense to do this when the turbo is out of the car. You can then change the DP at a later time when you have the cash flow.
