Title: confirmation please!
Post by: GTi_James on 26 April 2013, 12:07
went down to the local meet yesterday and was chatting to a dub head and HE said that the Ko3s turbs only appeared after 2003...

i brought the argument up that they weren't and that they were fitted to the AUM (i.e. my engine) in 2001. also showed pages and pages of info from the net showing this.

he popped his hood and showed me his AUM with the Ko3s. short of counting the blades, which is impossible in a dark carpark, which one of us was right?

Can you see the blue tag on the turbo? If so, what were the numbers on it? How is he so certain he has a ko3 fitted?

no he thinks he has the Ko3s upgraded on his AUM which apparantly came with the Ko3 standard?

edit to OP he has the Ko3s fitted
