i was hopping there were bearing kits and othere small mods we could do to get abit more power, and spool up and strenght. some one must know or have a very good idea how/were it can be done.

Give one of the AM guys a shout, they sell used units and were working on a hybrid KO3/4.

 

[Olly20VT]

this is true but i dont like the idea of machining out the housing of the ko3 its got to make it weeker, im waitting till its been WELL tested so for now im going ko3s, i should have my turbo in a week or so but if im going to mod it it'l be over the next month or so then fit it end of jan.

Where do you people get the K03s from?

I've looked everywhere for one, but canty find it anywhere.

 

[Olly20VT]

AM-motorsport sell second hand ones just under £300 iv just got one from E-bay but its in the usa at the mow ready to be posted (£85) or try a brakers, leon's audi golfs all use them on some of there modles, just find out wich ones and go huntting.
