Title: ebay turbo
Post by: norfolkvw on April 10, 2012, 10:13:10 AM
just having a look through old posts on turbos seen a couple of ko3's on ebay used, just wanted to make sure they where the right ones before i put a bid on.

These are both K03's dude but are from the wrong engine. You need one from either a passat 1.8t or a audi a4 1.8t longitudinally mounted engine

yes as above.  Both those are from transverse engines and wont fit in a polo as the compressor and turbine housings are different from the turbos on longitudinally mounted engines.

this is the type you want although i wouldnt buy this particualr one as it is defiantly a cheap chinease copy, id go for a genuine used one i picked mine up on a passat fourm from somone who had upgraded to a k04 think mine was £80 for a sub 30k miles genuine one you could also try audi fourms etc
