Turbo upgrade advice?
Bit of a newbie to turbo's, always had V6's
My LC is 180 std. K03 turbo im guessing? Can i fit a K04 turbo straight on? Like a turbo off a tt 225 or S3? Do i need to change the mapping/maifolds/piping ? Thankss! |

Pretty well covered and done to death but just to be helpfull you have a KO3S turbo on yours, the KO4 from a TT etc also requires manifolds, pipework, exhaust, intercoolers etc etc.

Completely different fitment. Another option would be to hybridise your ko3s

Ah right :S
What does 'hybridising' a k03s involve? (More cost than getting a LCR to start with i would imagine) Last edited by Chris1; 29-01-2010 at 19:58. |

They would use different internal parts to modify your turbo to increase its performance.
