Turbo upgrade advice?

[Chris1]

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.

that apply to the S3 turbo as well?

So i can't simply bolt it on? Its the same flange aint it ?

You can't bolt ko4 onto a ko3 manifold if thats what you mean?

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)

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