« on: 05 January 2011, 11:31 »
I have k03 turbo can I straight swap with k03s? Is there any mods or changes that need to be made and is it worth it?

Maintenance section will tell you all you need to know. It's worth it if you want to see more than 200bhp

If you read the threads in the maintenance section you'll get your answer.  Don't mean to be rude but this topic has been covered many times and has been answered more than I've had hot dinners

'Arrogance' :lol:  Appears to be good sound advice to me, a quick search and you would've got your answer ages ago ;)

Just chill out, smoke some more weed or something.

Yes it is a direct bolt on replacement for your K03. Only thing you need to change is oil, coolant, oil filter and possibly TIP ( Turbo intake pipe) if not supplied with the K03s. Alot of people upgrade to a forge Silicone TIP
