Changing turbo. Which one? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

[kstevens88]

Would my car still run on a ko3?
Im not looking for performance ect. Just aslong as it's compatible with the engine and doesnt ruin anything else ect.

Along as it works fine and dandy I would the look to get the ko3s to replace it or a possible upgrade depending on the funds.

Do you recon it would be wise to replace the boost hoses aswel?

Boost hoses are easy to replace, if its just to renew the silicone why not, some of it becomes so brittle and some become such a state that a crack is only around the corner. It doesn't hurt, all silicone can easily be done in 30min on the vacuum and breather side.

I would of thought putting a k03 in a k03s setup wouldn't hurt its no like the k03 would be under much strain compared to what its put through on a remap?

youll need the intake pipe for the k03 as well if your taking his turbo. oe k03s one wont fit (just the lower metal half is needed)

Sorry buddy there was a few spelling mistakes an I didnt really understand what you ment my it....

[Wazzzer]

you will need the throttle intake pipe from the K03 as well and also the turbo elbow pipe as the one you have is a different diameter

[kstevens88]

I've been trying to find a picture of the k03 and the k03s so I can tell the difference.

Does any body know where I could find it?

Cheers

you sure? im near 100% sure there the same, even etka lists them as the same part no.

k03 has 12 fins on the intake, k03s has 8, silenced k03s has a large mass on the top pipe, and other difference you can spot is the tags numbers

KO3 bottom, KO3s top

Champion!! All I need to do now is get back to france and which on I've got.

You will have a K03s on it, will bet my house I'm that confident

Houston yes you're right, I was referring to the silenced version which I have, it has a different elbow to the non silenced
