How much work is involved to swap k03s for a k04

[antzleoncupra]

Hi all,

I really have thought longand hard abut this, and i might upgrade my turbo to a k04, but in your honest opinions is it really worth the trouble or do you just buy an LCR?

So far im looking at getting 230hp out my Leon Cupra, but may need more in the future. Let me know your thoughts.

Cheers

Ant

Not worth the massive amount of changes TB.
Think KO4-001(KO3 hybrid), straight swap for your KO3s with a couple more bits.
Good for 270ish BHP

 

[antzleoncupra]

how much will the conversion cost roughly??? Do you know?

 

[Willie]

Depends what you have fitted already for the KO3s conversion

 

[antzleoncupra]

no, my cars already got the ko3s from factory so ive been told. Its a 51 plate Cupra 180hp

Please try the search button as canna be bothered going through this again

ok, sorry fella, quite fresh with the turbo stuff so just needed some more info

You have a Ko3s but I think Willie is talking about fitting a Hybrid turbo which to get the full effect needs other components too. This is covered extensively in this thread from Badger5 section.

Basically from a turbo point of view, provided your turbo is in a servicable condition, you part ex your Ko3s for a hybrid which I think is Ko4 internals with Ko3s fittings or its along those lines.

i think cr turbos do it for about £600

thanks lads, appreciate your help, well thats easier then, ill have to look into that if im wanting more than 230 brake.

i think cr turbos do it for about £600

that will be just the turbo though but yes I think it is around that price.

The thread I linked to in the badger5 forum has a full breakdown of what he will do and at what cost if you had it done there.
