K03 Strange turbo?
« on: February 06, 2012, 04:36:05 pm »
I have a "strange" k03 supposedly.  I sent my turbine wheels off to midwestturboconnection to get them balanced and I purchased a new kit that was designed for a K03.

A week after shipping my parts out I get a call saying the nut from the rebuild kit is too big for the shaft, and they needed more information to find the correct nut.  I gave them all I had, K03 part number I had gotten off the turbo designated the AAZ engine to one year/model car, the 95 Passat.  They also said none of the other parts would work because the shaft is too small, and I got the feeling from talking to them over the phone that this was strange.  I am not sure what the shaft diameter is but when I get it back in a week or so I will measure and post.

VW Part Number: 028145701R
KKK Part Number: K03-003796364

Midwest Turbo Connection couldn't source through Melett or Turbo International.

Maybe I should sell the parts on ebay and find a new turbo?  I don't want a China turbo because it will just fall apart too fast.

Any ideas?

Thanks

After thought:
I called G-Pop Shop and Jim said he could get one.
