Aum turbo shock!!
« on: 14 May 2014, 23:54 »
Just looking at the plate on the side of my 2002 aum turbo and it says

06a 145 704 b
Ko3-035

I think it's just a ko3 not a ko3s?! I thought all the aum's had ko3s? Gutted!!

They did and it still could be im no good with the model numbers but if it is a ko3 chances are the car has had a turbo replacement

That is a K03. Looks like some pikey couldn't be bothered to find a K03s and chucked that on instead. Get a pic of your TIP and it will 100% confirm

k03s is k03-053 or 052 isnt it?

as said, looks like at some point the turbos needed replacing and has been replaced with a normal k03 than a k03s

They've used the K03s TIP on a K03 lol...

You have the right actuator for the K03s on there though, just not the right turbo

We may be all completely wrong and it's got a K03s, only way to tell 100% is to take the TIP off and have a look at the number of blades it has

Turbo intercooler pipe you mean? To see the blades? Is that difficult?
