If you speak with R-Tech they deal with CR Turbos and they may be able to get you one or even better a hybrid K03s turbo  :cool:

The only other option is to pick a second hand K03s unit up for around £200-£250 and then have in reconditioned. This will then be like new and may cost less than £600

i have found a place that sells them in nottingham so im going to give them a ring in the morning but my problem is i dont no what one to go for i would love the power of the ko4 but all i seem to see is people having problems when they do this or am i wrong in saying that? its just it seems a lot of money if i get the ko3s and not a massive power gain. what do you guys think i should do?

agu ko3 are 150bhp standard add a ko3s the AGU gains 70-80bhp, id say they were massive gains for £500 theres people out there paying £200 for a induction kit which you will see 2-3bhp gains!
