Turbo arrived...

[kineticz]

Hey guys,
My second hand turbo arrived today safe and sound, and I have taken pics. Could you confirm it looks in good condition and is a ko3s?

My TT wishbone bushes also arrived








Part number is ko3-053

Many thanks
Dan

Check the shafts for play mate you can't tell by looking at a photo.

Check for cracks in the housing to.

 

[kineticz]

What do you mean by 'check the shafts for play'?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

I mean check the shafts in the turbo for left/right in/out play

 

[kineticz]

No in/out play AT ALL, and a very minute amount of side/side play.

Thoughts?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

sounds normal to me....most have slight side to side play

 

[kineticz]

Oh good I'm glad about that...

Just need confirmation ko3-053 is a ko3s lol A quick google search says it is but was installed on the 150hp cars? Not sure.

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

KO3-052, 053 or 058 For k03s

058 for unsilenced, 052/053 for silenced

 

[kineticz]

Sooo it IS a ko3s then, thankfully Why did they have different codes for the same turbo though?

What's silenced/unsilenced mean?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

This is silenced, the fat part is the silencer....from what I just read

 

[kineticz]

Mine is the 053 and doesn't have that fat part?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Thats just what I read on the golf forum mate.......could well be wrong.
