Ko4 turbos
I'm starting this thread in attempt to gain clarification to what sub-model Audi's had stock Ko4 turbos..
I recently purchased a 2000 A6 quattro with a bad engine, but came with an extra/fresh 2.7t with matching turbos and considering the low mileage on my new motor, I'm swapping out the heads for 2.8 heads but keeping my 2.7 cams, modifying the stock 2.7 intake for better breath and want to upgrade to Ko4 turbos & turbo pipes, headers, throttle body and down the road I plan to chip the computer and add custom exhaust. BUT! I don't want heavy mods, I'm trying to keep everything else stock-Ish.. (no vacuum, six water pump, gr deletes tho). How do I know what Audi's have the Ko4 turbos?

To my knowledge none of them came with K04 turbos.

Much appreciated. Looks like I'm going to have to visit my local pick n pull.. Since this post I discovered that these turbos are tagged with their specific model numbers right on them! (No decoding needed) lol.

junked cars turbos not a good deal in general.
And used turbos WILL fail...it's just a matter of time and you don't know when, usually sooner than later.
I'm'a just sayin'.

I have the motor and trans out and rather then putting the "ticking time bomb"-K03's in with a fresh, 60K mile motor, I decided to do the upgrade, rebuild kits are approx. $70 per turbo and having them balanced is roughly another $65 each.. (why does this s*** always gotta be so expensive?!??!!? Lol. Do you think that I should keep my 2.7 cams in a 2.8 set of heads?
