you dont have to get them to rebuild it. plenty of other places will rebuild the turbo and there's even a company on ebay offering an even more aggressive designed compressor http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...188322842#LIST

doubt its that bad. and a much better choice than spending money on a turbo thats gona break in a a couple weeks/months. gpopshop rebuilds turbo's and you might find a local place that can do it

Thats an interesting find on that prop chaos. I wonder how much more of a difference it will make. As for ko4 specific tunes etc, i wonder if you can still run it with a ko4 tune setup... maybe race file?

should work with any k04 file fine. it's not a huge difference over a k04, but definitely worth it IMO if you have to rebuild your turbo. the closest comparison would be a k04-23. a k04 with the sp51 compressor would give the highest numbers, but a k03 with the sp51 compressor should still give impressive gains, and its cheaper than a k04.

the guy who's selling these is an american living in Poland, so there's no language barriers or anything, which is also nice. He's put that compressor in a number of cars over there

Chaos, this might be an option for me right now. I may have said already but my Ko4 is apparently having shaft movement. If i could get one of these blades put on, it would be choice. I emailed the company for info,hopefully its only good stuff. Although i dunno if i could wait for the thing to come from poland.

just throw on a ko3s and call it a day. Or better yet, take a ko3s and havest the compressor wheel and cover and install them on the ko4. It would make the turbo far better.

doesn't the k03s just use the standard k04-15 compressor wheel?
