On eBay these k04 upgrades for k03 anyone used one?? One on eBay at mo from xs-power for £335. Are eBay jobbies any good and these only have 30day warranty.

might break after 31 days lol... tbh the quality isnt going to be as good as an oem unit but with a little going over i think they could be a good (not brilliant) turbo. i have been very tempted but its alot of money for something that could potentially be alot of crap..

Sport to someone who's bought and used one through sellers feedback this what he sent me back-

Hi, Yes fitment was bang on no problems there. only issue was there is no gasket included for the exhuast side but becuase i bought a new Downpipe aswell it was included in that. i have yet to have it mapped yet, i ran it in for 400 mile and it boost great. i have added a Manual Boost Controller and it is more than capable of holding 15psi which its at now. thanks
