have i bought the wrong turbo? help?

[sods law]

i have just bought a k04 part23 turbo for my cupra r (210bhp). picked it up from west london and realised that i actually need a part 22, (felt like a big muppet.) can i fit the part 23 or do i actually need a part 22??? is there anyone i can call to find out? appreciate any advise as i will need to fit in on sat. have been without the beast for 1 month .

Would have thought a K04 would be a K04 not sure of part 23 or 22 ?

there are two the 22 and 23 i think the 225 bhp has the part 23 and 22 on the 210bhp.

 

[barnsley]

does it look the same

 

[Big_daddy]

well if the 23 fits staright on with out any probz and run rights (with a few extra bhp). should be a plus then

i ll only know when the garage removes the old one.

 

[sods law]

they are the same!!!!

apperently the part 22 and 23 are the same. the only difference is there is a sensor in one and not the other. you can plug the gap to the sensor. i wish i knew this earlier, i paid top dollar for the turbo and i could ve got the part 23 cheaper. anyone know a decent garage to do the job. in east london/ essex.?

I believe the sensor is an EGT - Exhaust Gas Temperature sensor.

You will get a check engine light on the dash (if it's not connected) and a fault in VAG-COM but it won't affect the running one bit.

get it mapped out if you can

if his old turbo didnt have the sensor his car won't have the sensor lead to ecu so the jobs a gud un'!!!

I agree - if it wasn't there in the original turbo the ECU won't be "looking" for any reading.

 

[The MoffMeister]

but wont the turbo be looking for something if you know what i mean?

 

[The MoffMeister]

i'll retract that after thinking, the turbo has no ecu so to speak so yeah should be good then

thanks guys. ill try the place out in witham on mon. i'm thinking about engine flushing and to run it now on fully senthetic instead of semi. plus i might do a stage 1 if the car still up to it. and the mrs lets me spend the dosh!!!!!!!!!!!!

no no no no no............. EGT muchos important and allows fueling to combat excess egt's, which are common on 1.8t

I have a 210 lcr and it defo has a k04-023 as standard. As Bill has said it is important to reconnect your egt sensor as this protects both the manifold and turbo. If the temperature exceeds 950 degs the ecu reduces the injector on time and so reducing enginne power until the temp falls back below 950 degs.
This temp is seldom reached under stock component driving conditions.

 

[ibizacupra]

ecu fuel dumps and drops boost to recover egt's......... nice feature to have and retain.. that said, I think re-reading this, his car does'nt have the sensor to begin with but the new turbo has got the hole for egt sensor.

ok my bad lol

I second that. Awesome garage.
