Why oh why is it so hard to find a k03s turbo for my car. Iv'e been driving around with a cracked k03 for the passed couple of months and looking at most sites for the "s"...

Ive seen coolios one but it's a bit out of my price range. So anyone please let me know if you see one for sale...

Cheers

I can get you a chinese copy brand new for £250-ish or a genuine one for £600-ish

saw one of the copies today and it didn't look too bad at all.

re wa
When Nick found the crack we first looked at the ebay ones but wasn't sure. Are they any good?

these aren't the ebay ones, they appear to be okay but time will tell i suppose. There's one of their k04-001s going on a passat that belongs to someone we know.. i guess you can either wait and see how that one goes or take a chance!

I got a k04-001 on my golf goes OK,  Nick remapped it for me (r-Tec)

I got one from ebay and the build of it was shocking none of the holes lined up!


In the end i got a brand new one from backdraft cost me £700
