KKK K03 from an Audi A3 1.8t

Hi,

Just a quick question, will a K03 from an A3 1.8t work for a G40 turbo application? I did a search and saw the Passat ones mentioned, but couldn't find anything on the A3.

Cheers!

from a4s yes, but a3 no..

Well thats using the rothe manifold - you could probably get any turbo to work if you wanted.

Cheers Pete, back to the drawing board on that one then. Thought I'd found a bargain as well

you need one from a longitudinal engine, the ones from transverse (golf 20vT, A3 20vT etc...etc...) have different compressor and turbine housings and wont fit.  The turbo core is the same but the housings aren't.
