im not 100% sure if its the k03 or k03/s some say its the s but others are saying its not.. im new to turbo cars and still need alot to learn! its got a printout with 237bhp but i thnk its more around the 200bhp mark, thats comparing it to a few similar cars.. i think im going with the k300 turbo now as i know a freind that rebuilds alot of VAG turbos so i trust him! im looking for 260 bhp after everyting is done.. ill be happy with that, it wont be the quickest golf but it will be quick enough!!

What year is your car? If it's 2001+ its got the K03s and if it's pre 2001 it's got the k03.

260 bhp in a front wheel drive car would be insane, you'll definitely feel the difference anyway

You'll have the K03s then
