Where can I find reasonably priced K03 turbo for my 02 1.8T?

 

Id ask how it is that you need a new turbo already on an only 4 yr old car, but ill just assume that it has something to do with your screen name.

 

hahah... 8psi kills a turbo so fast

dude just go k04... its bettter

 

anidiot. lol what happened to your old one?

 

maybe he bought the car used like way used like the previous owner ran the **** out of it
that can happen or maybe I am wrong and his screenname says it all

I had posted a while back about how I siezed my engine etc...Well I got a new engine and everything and everything was installed and ready to go. When they started it up the car would quickyl overheat and would produce like a black smoke..The guy who we bought the engine from assures me the engine is good' he either installed it wrong or it needs a new turbo. So were looking for a new turbo. BTW; does anyone know what that sounds like? What might be the problem? Oh and about the K04, I would, but just spent about $6,000, for everything.

 

IF the turbo was ok before the new engine, i would suspect its the engine thats at fault. How many miles are on the turbo/new engine?

 

OK, the engine I bought has around 50K. The turbo was at 70K, but the turbo was ruined I think when I ran the car with no oil until the engine siezed. The problem that mechanic is explaining, can that be caused by a bad turbo?
