Just received my new replacement turbo today. Unfortunately, I think the order was screwed up. I ordered a KO3S for a quick replacement due to the fact that I couldn't find a new KO4 asap. I think I received a plain old KO3. Doesn't the KO3S have the same compressor wheel (8 blade) same as the KO4? The turbo I received has twelve blades. The part number is K303 988 0029 (HD71005841). Can anyone confirm this?

Bigger turbo FTW! HAHA

But seriously those are not the same.

This is my stock k03 vs. the gpop k04 (yes it's a k03 housing with a k04 compressor wheel in it)

 

You got yourself a ko3

 

the only difference between a k03s and k04 is that the k04 wheel is a few mm bigger I believe. the blades look the same.
