Default homemade k03/upgrade help is needed

i have a company that is going to sell me some k04 compressor wheels. can anyone help me to pick the right size for the compressor wheel that is normally used for a k03 upgrade. i have a drawing that says all of the measurements for the different types of k04 compressor wheels but does anyone know what is used in the k03 upgrade.

Do you have any past experience rebuilding a turbo? Given the amount of time it takes just to install a turbo (ie. engine removal), its not something you want to have to do a second time because the turbo was rebuilt improperly and blew after 500 miles.

How much are you going to have to spend? Have you considered picking up a set of K04s instead? Don't forget, you can sell your K03s and bring the cost of the K04s down a bit.

I'm a big fan of rebuilding your own turbo's. If you know the turbine size than all you need to do is send them out for balancing @ $65 pc.

i've done quite a few rebuilds and have yet to experience any problems, but be extremely careful. I cant say i have attempted the k04 upgrade though.
