you can definately get either an unsilenced or silenced k03s i know that much...

Not sure about the part number.. from that link though it would look like a normal k03 ?? Hopefully that link is just wrong though ?

Quickest way to check is probably by the number of blades if you have a pic of it.

K03 = 12 blades
K03S = 8 blades IIRC

 

[rogers]

thats the things i clearly stated in the add i wanted a k03s so hopefully its just a bit of confusion, because he didnt know much about it as it was in his work and he starts back tommorow so im hoping hes wrong

 

[rogers]

thats what he told me it has 8 blades im going to get all the correct photos tommorow and make sure

 

[Robbie C]

I know I've searched the forum before and found a thread with pics comparing the two and I'm sure if you post a pic of yours up someone will soon be able to tell you exactly what it is.

 

[rogers]

hes just replied to a email i sent and it clears up what i was wondering the later model are as follows 052 053 and 058 are al k03s

Come on rogers, found this in about 5 seconds of searching...

8 blades opposed to 12 on tip,
Tip is 2ml bigger than K04
Compressor housing is 39.5ml opposed to 37ml
K03s Turbos have 0052/0053 in the serial number and they usually are 704D/704S/704T
Larger main vein and larger contiunation

ARX, AUM, AWV, AUQ - K03s turbo

kkk-052 , or 053 or 058 = k03s

K03s Turbos have 0052/0053 in the serial number and they usually are 704D/704S/704T

Some good info there Phil.

Maybe a new thread in the FAQ section needs to be created and collate all the info on K03s' in there for future reference?

 

[PhilW]

Its on my list of things to update.

 

[rogers]

nerd lol

Im guessing this is the one thats on ebay atm? If so in the pics he has on the listing it looks like its 12 blades not 8.

 

[CupraElliott]

I searched ebay yesterday for one, nothing came up.

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Must have ended the auction early as it was on there last night.
Hopefully it wasnt the one rogers is buying as the picture in the auction was definatly only a normal k03 as it had 12 blades not 8

 

[rogers]

na i wasnt buying that one, thats where i saw the information for that link, had seen it,

 

[rogers]

[Myki da Pyki]
