New Turbo Arrived

[mrwookie]

Ordered myself a new K04 to replace the one currently on my LCR, it started making funny noises, and it turned up today but something inside me is saying I've recieved the wrong one. The part no is K5304-988-0022 and its marked as a k04-022.
Is this correct for my LCR 225bhp or should I be boxing it back up??

Not sure but the 225 S3 ko4 is a 023 not 022 i have seen some were that the 210 lcr had a different Ko4 but not 100% sure about that.

It should be ok, check that it has the small port for the egt sensor tapped into it.
make sure you fit your forge actuator to the ko4 before you fit it as its almost impossible to fit after the turbo's been fitted.
K04-20
K04-22
K04-23
all the same turbo except for the egt sensor.

some k04's have a sensor as well, when i had my hybrid done had a brand new turbo,the old one had a sensor but the new one didnt so had the sensor fitted to my down pipe

ps. you can just swap housing on the k04-023 and 022 then it will be the same

 

[mrwookie]

k04-022 dont have egt hole.

you want to selll your knackered turbo?

HoocH

Yea will be selling it HoocH so is the K04-022 a no go as mine is a 225 and will have the K04-023 on?

 

[B3LSY]

havent got the knackered one mate

 

[wild willy]

I bought a hybrid turbo which was a k04-20....... no egt tapping. (machined one in by turbo reconditioning firm)
i was under the impression that the early 210 cupra r's were k04-022 which included the sensor tha same as the early 225 TT's.
post up a pic of your new tubby and lets see if its any good.

 

[mrwookie]

Just uploading pic now Willy but where would the sensor port?? Currently got 4 holes that are bunged....

 

[h17och]

k04-23 has 5 holes.

2 water
2 oil
1 egt

 

[mrwookie]

Will post up pics but have 4 holes and 1 Ally bolt bung. Living in hope here.......

EGT is exhaust Gas Temperature, so the hot side bud

 

[B3LSY]

my EGT sensor is broke on its causing a flat spot

 

[mrwookie]

Anyone know how hard is it to change the turbo housing as suggested by HoocH?

 

[wild willy]

I've never done one,
If the sensor hole isn't there you could take it to a machine shop and ask them to tap one for you. From memory its a T3 thread.

 

[h17och]

why machine it when you have one that will work?

Very true, just a solution to a problem if he can't sell this turbo and save some cash.
Mr wookie... how much did it cost.

LOL Keeping that to myself incase I have to sell it on. What price do they sell for generally?

Other than ebay, a new one is the wrong side of £500.
