K03s couple of mm bigger than an K03

That's why you need a silicone tip as it'll easily stretch the extra couple of mm over the inlet where a standard K03 metal tip won't

The only reason to have the TIP for you engine code is so the ports aren't reversed and you don't need to blank one off, makes no difference at the turbo end
