i cant find any specs on it, but it seems like it would not be much of an improvement. running at under $500 for a brand new turbo is cheap. imo, not worth it. id have to see the gains to be sure.

smart choice. judging by size/cost of that turbo you'll get more gains out of a chip. and of course, remember to get a new dv.

Probably not worth it. It may or may not run out of breath in the upper rev range like the K03 does, but a chip is easy, reliable, proven, and prolly will give you the same kind of gains, if not better.

A gt28 or gt30 is the way to go.
