just woundering has my 2001 cupra got a k03 turbo and what would be the best upgrade k04 or k03s?

 

[ianbvw]

or even kkk

KO3s mate. KO4 variant will not fit. Unless you change the manifold/downpipe, even then on on RHD Ibizas the DP will foul the steering rack. So major changes needed. KO3s will bolt straight on and with all the goodies you could see upto 250bhp 270lbft. IIRC the KO4-051 will bolt straight on but are known to be very weak, and you would still only see the power of a KO3s..
Hope this helps.
Theres a lot of info out there if you use the search.

Gutted for you mate. I pick my turbo up tomoz. Should be fitted in the next 2 weeks. Hope It goes a tad more smoothly than yours!

Daz, you need the forge TIP for the k03s, just noticed your siggy "Next"

 

[ianbvw]

[LeeroyBrown]

[flashbsd]
