Ebay k04-001
« on: 22 September 2011, 10:16 »
Ok probably asked loads of times before but im posting from my phone and dont have the search option. I remember reading a thread about r-tech nick saying that the only problem he found was that the wastegate sometimes didnt seal properly but was easily fixed by grinding with a dremel. Anyone here had any trouble with them?

I was thinking of getting one to punish it!!  :evil:

 My £900 OEM KKK K04-001 core has been ragged to the limits during deveopment for the last 13months....  I wonder if the £250 ebay kit could take it on my personal map on my AUM???? 
I have mapped a few for customers cars with ebay 001 and k03s turbos , which I dont push as hard as i would mine, but as far as i know they are all runnig strong still.
The ebay ones need a lot of time on the N75 boost control mapping as they will easy spike to 30psi+ generic on a stage1 or 2 map.  The n75 duty need to be reduced by around 35% in the mid range to just stop the spike,  then i had on with the actuator stuck shut and one which the flapper did not seal.

 One customer is running an MBC and now peaking 25psi, since last summer..

So is there any reason not to actually go with an ebay one?  And would it see similar gains to a genuine kkk or would it be less?

depends if your a OEM only type of person, for 1/4 of the price, you pays your money, you take your chance..

might get this for 200 notes

Looks worse than the other though like XS power etc, probably the same unit though.

Yeah true. Wouldnt care about OEM to be honest just as long as it dont blow up 3 months down the line. Which one would be best to go with off ebay? (not got a good eye for it myself)

Visual build quality is poor, bad finish to castings. No uniform to how the wastegate gets setup and how it fits against the turbine housing. wastegate hole around 3mm to small vs the oem unit (which will cause raised egts, but can be ported out if your wanting to push the full flow) then picture of the one in the above ebay link will leak from the silencer cap.

 Out the box they can be pants?.  

BUT if you spend a bit of time checking it out and putting it right prior to fitting it then there will be no issues. (as you would test and check a genuine OEM unit)
 If you want you can have to turbos sent direct to me I will check them out and put them right for you, you just pay the return P&P.
