Why not just but the K04 chaos is selling and call it a day? He's a reputable seller.

doesn't the k03s just use the standard k04-15 compressor wheel?
Nope. The ko4-15 is the same as a ko3 but with a 2mm increase in the turbine wheel. The ko3s got a larger inducer and turbo inlet along with a more efficient 8 blade compressor wheel (ko3 has 12 blades).

k03


k03s


k04-15



the k04-15 looks the same as the k03s. it uses the same 8 blade design, not the 12 blade design of the k03

the ko3s is a little better. But its pointless vs pointless.

People "upgrading" from a ko3s to ko4 should be punched in the face

Thats what everyone has on my TL forum,as becausethese types of bikesare more frequently moded and with diffrent lil nick nacks then cars and most other bikesthe F/S forum is poppin. Several members make everything from more comfy seats,gear indicators,throttle inserts,to fiberglass parts,to pressure plates and clutch covers. If u click their profile u can view their trader rating almost in an E-bay format. Very cool,and deffinitly keeps fraud down a lot. 99.9% of I've been ripped off threads are about major reailers/shops.Maybe we could do somethin like that on this site,especially since we have a recent inudation of 1 post sellers,might wake up the cheap stakes and make em pay more attention to whom they purchase from. Is it really a bargain if youbuy $900 lambo doors for $300 and never recieve them? Or,a turbo for half the price of a forum member and then it needs a complete rebuild?

Also it doesn't exactly help to know who ripped someone off,when they will never come back,make another profile and post 30 posts and rip someone else off. Case in point that stasis incident. Rather give a shout out to a reputable seller tryin to sell somethin and help him out then bitch about a ghost. .02

Yeah, I might look into this for mine. When are the turbos usually replaced? I'm just under 100k. I know t the better you take care of it, the longer it would last, but you never know. I had been concidering the KO4 when mine went out, but this sounds like a good deal. Does anyone know average hp gains?

true... it makes sense... its still funny though... and since your the only one who has it so far... but sounds like a decent idea so AF memebers arent getting d1cked over.
