So why do you want another one? What are you running from it?

Get a new hotside and do all the supporting mods and remapped
mate it has too have been roasted to cause this damage to the turbo an downpipe i bought the car like this so just want to throw a new 1 in then i know its ok  :smiley:

Fair enough then mate, look in to getting it rebuilt will be cheaper than getting a new one even with buying a new hotside for it.

A new genuine one will be the best part of a grand and then your getting into BT money.

But a properly supported properly mapped k04 will destroy most BT Golfs on the road.

Fair play

There is a few on ebay.

Reckon that crack on the one in the classifieds would make no difference but if your spending that money why buy one with a crack in it.

Maybe worth finding one cheap, spares and repair and getting it reconditioned if you want a new one
