I have a 2001 allroad with a 2.7t; one of the turbos went out; with smoke that only a jet engine can produce; was happy to drive it back home (about 15 miles) safely. I need to replace both turbos but looking for a couple of OEM K03; not aftermarket or rebuilt; and surely not looking to upgrade this car is for my wife; and definitely don't want to give her more power than what she already has.
I am in Ohio; but thank God for Paypal; please to send me your lowest asking price I am not looking to negotiate.

thank you

 

It's actually a better idea to replace them with K04 turbos and just modify the waste gate.
The K03's push about (for sake of an argument) 75% of what they can at WOT while K04's could run easily at lets say 55% with a modified waste gate.
This is just my 2 cents.
If you are in Greensburg or Pittsburgh, call Next Level Performance and ask them about it.
ECS has K03's, but K04's will out last K03's by easily around 40 thousand miles.

 

I very much appreciate your response; but I seem to have already spent a lot of money on this car; and it seem that the more I put into it the more it wants; I seem up my limits with it. wish it was as reliable as my E320 Benz; but with the Benz I learned one thing; is to always use if not a Benz Brand the OEM. to upgrade to K04 is at least $600 more; and the ECU would have to be programmed; that is why I am not thinking of going that route. ECS does seem to have K03 but they seem to be a bit overpriced.

 

OEM K03's are going to be way more expensive then aftermarkets or rebuilt. There are plenty of companies out there that have a good reputation for a reproduction piece. OEM stuff has to come from Germany though, which is why the mark up is so much more.

 

can you tell me which companies those are; most of what I have seen on the market are cheap Chinese made; I might consider a Chinese if the turbo replacement didn't have to involve engine removal; and a correction; those turbos come from Detroit and not Germany (well; BorgWarner might have a factory in Germany) but the company is as American as apple pie as well as Garret and Even Eaton.

I have heard of Godspeed turbos; but not really sure where those are made; and how good of reputation this company does have; I know that many companies take a cheap Chinese and re-brand it but I have not done much research.

 

Most of the chinese reproductions are sold on ebay. Dont buy those. And no matter what company you go with, you have to remove the engine from the car to replace the turbos. There's not anywhere close to enough room to swap them out in-car. I'll do some re-researching on the site on which the good companies are though. I have a 2.7t myself and looked this up a while ago, but can't remember off the top of my head
