I have heard of a k04 chip named k05, but not an actual turbo. Got a link?? Im sure if there were such a thing we would have heard about it by now, unless its brand new.

RE: WTF is a K05
 

here's the skinny.

The E05 was made to be a direct replacementfor transverse engines with a ko3(s) and flow the equivalent of a k04-2x out of a 225tt. the downfall was the shaft on the turbo was to thin and it snapped when you tried to boost it at higher boost levels (around 20psi). Most chip tuners limited the boost to 18psi and people still blew the turbos. They just reciently came out with the E05b which is suppose to have a revised shaft but still not a popular upgrade.
