turbo question
« on: 10 September 2013, 09:33 »
ok dokes so last time home i picked up a jazz blue (best colour :tongue:) 1.8t on a 1999 plate agu code. what turbo will i have in that? also i have a 2002 aum, now am i right in thinking in the aum it would be a k03s? would or could that be a strait swap onto the jazz blue agu? jazz blue is at stage one everything standard except a forge 07 and a upgraded air filter. the agu just doesnt seem to have as much boost as the newer aum?????? so im think i pinch the turbo out the aum when the mrs isint looking, shes not intrested in bhp anyway, strait swap????

The AGU would have come out the factory with a K03 turbo and AUM more likely with the K03s.

The K03s will bolt on to the other car no problems using the original oil pipes etc. When swapping them over it would be checking both manifolds to see if there is any crack's. slight hairline cracks aren't a major issue. but check them over and use the one that looks the best.
