Default Least cost source for new/rebuilt K03 needed...

I need to replace the K03 on my '99 A4 -- this weekend, I discovered that it has more end- and side-play than I'm willing to accept -- and am looking for the least costly / quickest delivery source for a new or rebuilt K03. Any suggestions?

(Yes, I've thought about "upgrading" to a K04, but for my purposes -- daily street use, semi-serious autocross use -- I've decided the K03 is probably my best choice, its high-rpm limitations notwithstanding).

Default Are you looking for a rebuild for your turbo?

Give me an email...a standard rebuild is around $300 for a K03.

Default you know we could live in a perfect world ;)

Looks like a K03/K04 hybrid would do you well. It would retain the stock spoolup of the K03 while giving you the increase in the upper rpms you're looking for.

No the turbo from the GTI will not work in the A4.
