Ok so im in need of a new / refurbished turbo (K03 Hybrid or k03S) as the k03 is well just holding the car back, this question is manly aimed at the people who have bought turbo's for the cars.
What company did you get your turbo from? CR Turbos, Gap Turbos, DynamicTurbos etc etc
How much did it cost you and was there any problems?
Also am i right in thinking Leon Cupra have K03s turbos as standard?
-
Best option BBT k300 poss best in ko3 frame you'll get 300hp+ with supporting mods and tune.
-
I am running a bbt k300 and have only good things to say about it, I'm thinking of upgrading so the k300 might be up for sale soon :wink:
-
I've get the BBT k418t this week engine new engine being built at moment then badger5 tune.
-
Looking at a gt3071r next if I do upgrade, will be saying bye to 300 bhp/ton and hello to 400+ per ton, but more importantly lower Egt for sustained track use :evil:
-
Well looks like im gonna have to look around for a K300 then! thanks for the answers guys
-
Was offered gt3071r but just bought BBT would have gone down that road if hadn't already paid for BBT.
-
GT30 = lag
-
I think it just depends on each persons driving style, people say the gt3071 lags but it makes over 300bhp by ~4500rpm which in my eyes is fine I don't think I would want to be making 300 bhp any sooner for a track car. Plus when racing I shift at redline and the revs are still in powerband for the next gear. Admittedly a big turbo will have further costs associated with it I.e good manifold is around £800 alone which most would find difficult to justify.

How much?
Presume you have forged rods yes?
-
Ok so next question where did you guys get your turbo's from?
the Beachbuggyturbo guy is very busy at the moment so he's out of the question
Also what over cars have k03s turbo's as standard? ive heard leon cupra's do any others
-
skoda octavia vrs do, i believe.
not sure on the others.

-
Very tempted to sell the k418t with JBS manifold and buy the gt3071r iv'e been offered. :undecided:

very interested to know what you want for it pm me some details :wink:
-
It all depends which way you want to go in terms of power and how many mods you have already / plan on doing.
I'm not going past a K03s, Stage 2 because I need it as a daily still :laugh:
-
Well i just want something that sits around the 230-250bhp mark ive already priced up an intercooler, injectors and already have the other parts just need a new turbo now :smiley:
Ill email BBT again and see if there's any k300 available. think i might take a trip down to the scrappy and see if theres any cupra's about
thanks guys
-
Also another question say i find leon cupra at the scrappy that does have k03s will i be able to take that off and put it onto mine or do i need to find a specific cupra for my agu golf?
probably a dumb question but oh well

Turbo wise agu uses ko3 aum ko3s cyl heads different too.
-
One last question what exactly am i looking for in a k03s like good or bad signs? and is there a part number for them as the local scrappy (car transplants) no longer allows people to walk around the yard and look at cars you got to sit in the waiting room while they find the part for you...
-
things to look for -
- minimal shaft play (shouldn't hit the sides in any place - a bit of play is normal though)
- cracks anywhere is generally a bad sign (though some people argue that small cracks on the hot side doesnt effect boost / performance)
- cracks on the wastegate
- oil in the turbine
part no is either 5303 988 0052 or 5303 988 0026

Would you get k04??
-
Does this look ok i know its not much to go by but are the "8 Curved fins" a problem?
(http://i.imgur.com/fHCzDN0.jpg)
And wouldnt a k04 setup require me to change a few other parts tho?
-
Have k04, lines, injectors, map to for set up with emission deletes, immo defeat and manifold for sale momth or so time. Only need maf housing and tip 280hp. Brum brum.
-
Ye but how much would all that cost me compared to what a k03s will cost me? i know k04 means more power but ive still got to buy a decent fmic haha
-
I ran tyrol sport smic with vented arch on my last mk4 there very expensive but say IAT where same if not better when checked again my mate car with fmic same day. Got it off my nephew in states and he was running it with gt2871r with no heat soak sold it to me cos went gt35, new york in summer lot hotter than here.
-
Will pass on the K04 setup for now.
Bought a K03S Hybrid with upgraded curved fins for £230 think it was built by BBT but not 100% sure :grin:
