K03 turbo

[Booky1]

Would a k03 turbo off an 2000 vw not sure model of car?Would work on a stock 1600.What kind of boost could I get could it produce 15lbs at 3500 to 4000 rpms?It will be in a single seat rail.mail

I read my post I left at least one thing out it is off a 1.8m motor.

Measure the inlet on the turbo compressor and the outlet on the turbine and if they are less than 1.75 inches you should have pretty good results.

The K03 I have had in my hands was a pretty small turbo. I would think it would be great for a rail where you want insta-boost at mid throttle.

You might not get 25 lbs out of it but it should be good for a start.

Thanks Clonebug for your reply I was hoping you would answer me you seem to be very good at this subject. I don't have the turbo in front of me but I will keep that in mind when I look at it.

Every turbo and build is different so what works for one might not work for another.
A K03 is a small turbo and should be a quick spool for a 1600. There are many factors but I don't see why it wouldn't work.......You are going blow through aren't you????
If drawthrough I have no idea how it would work.

I am looking at draw through it looks to be the essayist to do blow through seem more complicated. But I am new to this game of turbo charging.

Hi booky would you keep a update going with the turbo install. I have a 1776 with dual 44s on it and I want to do a blow through but I'm also extremely new to the turbo thing. I want to install it on my 57 manx

I am confused I just got the turbo in my hands and it looks like it is water cooled am I wrong or can I still use it? I hope I didn't buy something I can't use.

[Clonebug]

Most OEM turbos are water cooled.

Just ignore those connections and run without them....make sure you give it oil in the correct holes and direction........

You can remove the pipes that go to the water connections also.
