Title: Noob question coming right up....
Post by: Southerner88 on 25 November 2012, 11:52
Hi all,

I have been trying to do some research around upgrading turbos, i thought i have a K03 turbo on my Mk4 Gti Y reg, but looking around (and getting very confused) it sounds like some models where fitted with the k03s so would be best to upgrade to the k04, and it depends on something to do with AUM and AUG?!?!?!?!

I am completely baffled so could do with someone on here who knows what they are chatting about to explain please!

cheers

all you need to know is that the AUM has a KO3s Terb and then research upgrading that  :wink:

Are you sure that yours is an AUM? I thought they were only fitted 2002 onwards?

That's a crazy price for small power!
260bhp has been made from the k03s! (Not saying it easy!)
Best bet is a proper k04 conversion with relentless manifold or a k03 hybrid from litto on here!

Yup! And she runs better than my previous car.......dare I say this.......a 1.4 Citroen C2 - immediately adding in my defence it was my first car and insurance was cheap, then swiftly upgraded to the 1.8 20v Turbo!
