  • R-tech power!!!
it's up to you to pipe them up lads, but anything can be made to work yes. using the ko4 comp housing means it'll come out in a slightly diffrent orientation, I'm not sure if Dan welds the ko3 outlet kink onto the ko4 housing or not, but either way, it wouldn't be difficult to adapt with a few bits of silicon.

Dan, I had no idea you were on here! Seen your username loads of time and had no clue it was you :)

TOop result matey :)

This is a picture of the exact turbo.

It's a direct k03 bolt on

How much are these turbo's?

Would it be on an exchange basis?
If it is exchange what would the cost be exchanging a k03s turbo?

That's interesting Dan, I see you've clocked the housing and welded the 90 degree outlet from the ko3 com housing onto the ko4 cold side :)

Impressive stuff. Custom actuator bracket too given the clocked housing?

Yes clocked housing and then k03 outlet is welded on to give an indentical k03 fitment. K04 housing is obviously bigger so it needs modifying to fit and the actuator bracket is a stock one but redrilled to fit and give correct movement on the waste gate.

Turbine housing is machined and ported to flow better and be less restrictive

While the turbo makes the power it's definitely down to the other parts and the map that gives it the performance it gained.

I believe 300bhp is achievable all be it a different spec ie comp wheel.
