Wouldnt worry if it was silenced or not.  Replacement with any k03s will work fine.

A k03 would work fine on a k03s map/engine, providing the intake side hoses were swapped.

10psi on a k03s isnt even a stage 1 remap on a k03.  You might just feel the power run out at higher RPM, and of course, you might get a very slight overfuel, but would have thought ECU could cope with that.

Lol then I guess I'll have to trust you on that one bud.
 Appoligies on the doubt I just want to be 100% sure that's all.

Do you have any idea on where I can pick a decent one at a reasonable price without. Having to exchange my own?
