Post by: jamie16v on 03 October 2011, 19:09

That turbo was build Until 2000Yand model  is Ko3-026, and is older version of Ko3-052/53 witch was build after 2000Y
It is 180BHP turbo witch also can replace 150BHP turbo and be remapped,

The bloke is talking out of his arse, the 026 has the smaller compressor housing. Just cos it was fitted to a 180bhp makes no odds

All the following turbos have the same installation dimensions and
thermodynamical performance. The differences are only in the actuator that
opens the turbine bypass valve:
K03-011 (5303 988 0011) 150 hp, 65 N actuator
K03-026 180 hp, 85 N actuator
K03-035 180 hp, 85 N actuator
K03-044 150 hp, 65 N actuator
K03-045 156 hp (Ibiza Cupra), 85 N actuator with 2 ports
K03-049 150 hp (Sharan/Alhambra), 65 N actuator
The 180 hp versions have an actuator with a higher opening force due to the
higher exhaust gas pressure (which is a consequence of the higher boost
pressure). Otherwise the valve would be pushed open by the exhaust gas
pressure.

The following turbos are a further development (since 2000) and have an
improved and slightly larger compressor while using the same turbine (still
with the same installation dimensions):
K03-052 180 hp, 85 N actuator
K03-053 150 hp, 85 N actuator
K03-058 150 hp/180 hp, 85 N actuator

mate, i honestly dont think he cares, i`m sure he is adimant that cos its a "k03-026" that it`s some form of early k03s..
his words were that the k03-052 and 053 are a modified k03-026 and that makes his 026 an "S"
here are his words from one of his replies to me. >>> ko3-52 or 52 are modified ko3-26 witch was build until 2000y, and ko3-52 or 53 was build after 2000y, and it is older version ko3s witch I also stated in advert. I`m not misguiding any one. thank you for your info.
