Hi guys
i just bought a 2003 vw passat, i don't want to go over the the vw forum because i trust this one (i've been with the a8 guys) Anyways i know that the engines are the same, so i just bought the car with supposedly a "bad" turbo, the guy said it just keeps eating up oil, so i was first thinking of upgrading it to a ko4 but than read that it might not run so smooth without the apr upgrade, so i am deciding just to replace it with another ko3. good choice? also if yes, anyone have one for sale?

I got a china K04 for B5 spare car and it works just fine. No additional power without tune, but works great... been in there almost 2 years now. It was around $200 for that money, unless somebody gives you one free, I'd just do that.
