k03 / k04 wheel size list

[Dave_IOW]

Doesn't matter if its k03 or l03s does it as the exhaust side is the same?

I got a spare k03 laying around, but for the money and messing around the toyosport t304 kit seems wayyyyyyy to tempting.

To me it did aswell bud, remember a few messages to and fro with you about it, rods is what puts me off..

Well Nicks offer of sending 001 up, a fcuked 023, return postage, and doing the job for couple of packs of hobnobs, i thought would have ment no machining

there wont be no machining if you send the 023 cold housing, just welding the tube thats all..

I worked out the pipework, rods is the only thing that put me off, not cheap and it's not something I've ever done before, tried a few local garages but I couldn't trust any of them unfortunately.

If I get a shed built in the garden I may bite my lip and get it done diy in a years time, just seems small money for big power and we've seen nick tune one golf successfully and reliably with that setup.

i too have thought about building a strong engine.. providing you follow all the guidlines, keep the tolerances neat, lube as you go, you shouldnt have too much trouble.
not doing it yet though.. i proper skint

to answer that question, there is about 10-20mm axial play in the shaft, the compressor wheel looks fine from the outside but looks like it has ground some of the inner exducer away  turbine wheel looks ok though..
gutted.

piccies 

[jamie16v]

surely it doesn't matter as if you are rebuilding it with a 360 degree bearing and new inducer and exducer.
then essentially that is the whole core? so in effect your just using the housing?

or have i missed the point completely?

i think you have missed the point completely..lol the idea of buying the turbo was for the compressor wheel.. now it seems like pointless opereation.. 

[jamie16v]

yep, a k04-023.. i`m soo pissed off now. though i cant complain, i bought it as spares or repair.
