New K03s Turbo or K04 set up

[Hulmie]

For the hassle/expense of a KO4, you may as well go Garrett/IHI etc (IMO).

KO3 S is a very good mod for the money/simplicity, though.  You need a bit of luck & patience finding a good'un.  Keep your eyes peeled in all the classifieds (here, uk-mkivs, Briskoda, SeatCupra, etc, etc.

So is there no where that can supply K03s turbos new or reconned/Hybrid?

Where would be the best place to get a IHI turbo kit from, would it be using a GT28rs turbo?

No, that would be using the IHI turbo found on Scoobies etc.  Garrett is a different turbo.

I'm yet to be convinced on the longevity of the 'hybrids' & I'd also avoid those brand new Chinese copies.  I got lucky with a brand new 'S' - It was on uk-mkivs advertised as just a 'KO3'.

You could always buy a s/h one & get it re-furbed.

Im only looking to spend around 1k on upgrading, so think my best option would be K03s, re-map, FMIC and if i have money left maybe look at fueling side of things.

i know that the K03s can use my original manifold, exhaust, oil lines etc. But is there anything else that people recommend doing at the same time, service bits or upgrade?

You need the k03's TIP or get a silicone one
