Audi s3 k04 turbo?

Post Wed Jul 20, 2011 12:22 pm

Got a chance to have a turbo off an Audi s3 cheap. Anyone know if this would be suitable to use for a turbo set up with m20b27?

Any info will be great

KO4 Turbos are mental! i have a mate who has one in an astra VXR and its well over 300 hp.. other friend has a KO4 in seat ibiza R and it is crazzy!

You would also need to mod a manifold to fit the ko4's flange as they are not T3.

If you're thinking about doing a turbo, before you buy anything do your research first it will save you lots of time and most of all money.

I have had a look into things and there is a lot of bits to collect, i keep telling myself its too much work and funds,
Although i was offered the K04 for next to nothing off a mate so thought it would be worth asking

if it was suitable i would of bought it and that would be the start of collecting the turbo parts
