Recirculation valve BLANKED?! Is this ok? Im getting 50/50 feedback

[Wazzzer]

chatter is fine on turbos that weren't designed for a recirculating valve ie Garret T3s. The K03 was always designed to run with one though

[Dommy GTi]

yeah its a KO3, 150bhp x-reg golf with 143k on the clock, I hate the smoking after giving it a bit of boost though, hopefully if this turbo goes i can look into a KO3S OR KO4.

[Wazzzer]

X reg? What engine code?

[Dommy GTi]

I think its an AGU engine. all i know is that its 150bhp, with a ko3 turbo, 140k mate.

would double check as the aum was in my x-reg 

[Wazzzer]

Indeed double check, most X plate cars I've seen were AUMs

[Dommy GTi]

Oh! Might be AUM then mate, I did read up about the 02+ onwards being the agu? im not too sure, where would i find the code?

on your log book look at the engine number 

[brewey]

Mines an x reg and its ARZ so you could still have the K03 like you thought.

[Wazzzer]

ah yeah or ARZ...
