K04 conversion golf turbo
« on: 21 November 2013, 21:28 »
Hi guys, right as some of you may have read my post on my turbo fluttering on my S3? Now I'm starting to think the car is a bad omen as it's now knocking from under my feet!! So I'm actually thinking of using the k04 conversion for my golf turbo which I was gonna break... My question is... How hard is it to k04 a golf? Is there more room in the engine bay then the s3's and leon cupra r's and is it worth doing?


Cheers Lee

not much you will need the turbo the manni and downpipe but you might need to modify that plus you will prob need the injectors and fuel pump from the s3  :smiley:
