Thats an ebayk03 knock off, not a true KKK Borg Warner turbo. It would probably work.. But who knows for how long... And there may be slight differences in the shaft/bearing quality, etc. If you want to be a guinea pig go for it. Who knows, it could be just as good or maybe better than a borg warner k03.. Thats the chance you take with ebay ****.
You could probably find a real k03 used in the classifieds with decent miles on it for ~$100.

Wow their prices went up. Might as well get a brand new k04 from BW for about $100 more.
