So i found this, and basically you keep the hot/exhaust side of the k03 and then put this bigger compressor housing and compressor turbine in. From what i understand it has a 51mm compressor wheel, which i assume is quite bigger than a k03. i was told this would be about the size of a gt28 compressor housing. Im really considering doing this. What size is the k03 compressor wheel? What do you guys think of this....it does come with everything, and looks like a basic turbo rebuild kit.

 

you probably shouldnt.

 

Screw that. $300 for the parts to rebuild. At least another $150 to rebuild. For the R&R + money spent, it doesnt seem worthwhile. Its still going to be a fist sized turbo when your finished.

 

why not?

 

the compressor wheel and housing is significantly larger

and my buddy has rebuilt plenty of turbos and offered to do it for free

 

someone just posted that a couple days ago. If you want to do it, get a used turbo for cheap and rebuild that. So if it breaks, of doesnt perform, your not out more than $300

 

well thats what i planned on doing, i actually was going to find a crapped out k04 and use its exhaust/hot side...but obviously one that has its exhaust turbine

 

you just need a ko3 and that shouldnt be to hard to find

 

well wouldnt ko4 be a better choice for exhaust side? how much could i get a ko3 for?

 

travis you have a b5 if you want results from changing the turbo in some way just get a k04 its a little more that than ebay steal and is proven to be reliable.
