Default whats better, KO4, or TAP sport KO3?

they say that their sport KO3 has a higher flow rate than a regular KO4, could this be true? if it is, why dont i see more people with them, im assuming that there is no need for a new manifold when switching to this turbo. any thoughts and/or info on this turbo would be greatly appreciated.

TAP isn't too popular around here. Anyway, I'd go with K04. Lots of people posted bad experiences with TAP, but I've never had an experience with them myself.

TAP's reputation = truly terrible. Buy the K04 if those are your choices.

My understanding is that modifications are done to the K03 and your "new" turbo will still have all those miles and some old parts on it. Get a brand new K04.

Default I posted that question a while ago...

And got some good responses...came down to this: forget the KO3, it's pushing a piece of equipment to do something it wasn't designed to do. get a KO4, which was made for higher performance.

Default well I think it better to get K04 Cuz only few hundred more...

you can have both old and new one...
if you blow the K04 you still have stock K03 right?
I alway like new staff..
think about it if you overwhelm it
you have to get a new one
SO DONT WASTE YOU MONEY ........
