Turbo rebuild

[toocoolpash]

Does anyone know how much it would likely cost to either rebuild or buy a replacement ko4 turbo?

Beach buggy turbos on fb around £225-350 I think or buys second hand unit for between £200-£250 look for a breaker on eBay

I used to pay £240 at turbo developments for a rebuild

Considering using this as an excuse to go big turbo but unsure as to what id need.. after looking it up im thinking id need alot more £££ for an extra 40bhp and am a little put off putting right foot down now once fixed incase I get the same problem again!

K04 hybrid 470cc injectors and a remap should see good figures then go forge when you put an hole In the block lol hybrid for reliabity I guess. Or just get yours rebuilt and get it mapped should see 260-270 which to be fare is enough in front wheel drive which I've proved twice so far in my Ibiza, my little k03s vs that 324bhp one I've just broke upto 80 he was going nowhere then last night with a dude running gt28rs estimated 350bhp, whilst he was collecting some parts, I had him on pull off then had him up the private road........if you've got no grip then you've got no chance so no point lol ps not starting a boy racer storm just trying to make a point

Mines a stage 2 running 288Bhp on cheap fuel.. Got good tyres so tends to put the power down well.. Well it did lol I'm wondering if 330 odd would just become pointless as u said it is hard to put the power down when ur just spinning!! Not promoting boy racing but would be interested to see how yours did along side mine! But then I have that nagging as ppl say remap over standard 225 is like night and day.. Does the Same then apply to maxed ko4 like mine and big turbo hmmmm

You could get gear based boost mapped in.

Speak to Dan @ Beach Buggy Turbo's, he is a sound chap and will talk you through your options - You can make up your mind there after.

Not sure im gonna go the route of big turbo as with the extra cost the mrs is going to rip my nuts off!! Got a quote of £312 to refurb my turbo with 2 year warranty just gotta get someone to get it out and put it back after but thats better than buying a new ko4 for quoted £600!

If your in no rush and got something else to drive then have a go yourself.

I had considered doing it but every mechanic I spoke to including the ones that were to busy to do it said that its a fiddly job and best not do it on the drive! "/

I dont mind sorting the turbo swap for you, just changed the turbo on my sisters A3 AGU to a KO3s turbo which bought from Dan - Completed today, had test spin and all good! Waiting for funds to clear so i can get my hybrid from him too

Why do you say your turbo needs a rebuild?
