Default Go look at the new 2001 VW golfs. They use a K03/K04 turbo.

The housings are different on the inside.

Default K04 Golf? Which Golf?

We don't get any Golfs with K04s in the US, do we?

Default Some new Golf and Jetta IV come with a special turbo (more)

3K Warner just updated their entire Turbo line. All they turbo's got updated with better quality parts and some hybrid turbo's.

all 01.5 after feb production date has a K04/K03 hybrid for Golf IV and Jetta IV. all 00 have a VST K03 and 01 has a slightly better vst. better in cooling for water circulation. 01.5 has a new turbo it is similar to a K04/K03. so watch out for some of those other cars out there the new 02 models with get this hybrid turbo.

I got a Tech Bulliten from 3K Warner about 4 days ago and just started to read it. this thing is 20 pages long so i have to translate and read as it gets translated to me.

I will update this and try to get application guide from Audi.

Default Some guys are trying K-16 impellers with K04 housings as well

with special chip's tuned by Upsolute in the works.

Also, the downpipes on the 01's are smaller in diameter than that of the 00's. Not sure of the cutoff date for production though. The older downpipes were 55mm, the newer ones are 50mm.

You'd need a special housing.

Default I think they sell some good stuff

their primary item for sale is a Can of Whoop *** with a very cheap price tag that is close to the S3 price tag....

oh and he sells time slips that read 13.0 1/4 with APR Stage 3+ Piano Wire on Wastegate

but this is all a guess
