is this a k03s hybrid?
« on: 24 March 2013, 00:21 »
Recently brought a k03s. Ive noticed the blade pattern isnt like that of many k03s's. Is this some sort of hybrid?



Cheers
Az  :laugh:

Get some pictures up but I doubt it does there look like there's any welding done on the housing

get some measurements too. I'm sure Littco could shed some light on it

looks like one of the chinese ko3 "hybrids" that have been floating around the last couple of years. The ones I've seen so far haven't made good power. Around 200bhp at most even at stage 2

Actually coming to think about it, there was a topic in the mk4 section only a few months ago about the same thing and I swear the turbine looked the same as what you have (less fins) can't remember the outcome il try search for it now  :smiley:

Looks like a toyo sport Chinese copy, have a look to see if you have 'TS' stamped anywhere on the casing or 'toyo' etched into the mating surface of the hotside where it bolts onto your downpipe.
