  k14?
  

  
  I mean for low mounts? What would be an upgrade from k03/t15?

• VW went to the VNT15 after the K03/T15 turbos

• I moved this here as to not clutter that F/S thread.
  
  I am not sure on low mounts.. but I think the k03 is the one by itself that has a different manifold and flange.
  
  Whereas the k14,24,26 can share a manifold??? Not 100%.

  Yeah a real upgrade would definitely be going to the next gen turbo, instead of a step backwards in turbine technology.

• One per two cylinders? That'd be ideal...
  
  They both can operate at 73% for a big efficiency island..... haha

  never seen a full K26 that bolted to a VW manifold on its own..
  
  the audi K26 used some weirdo T25 flange with a round portion in the middle, like the volvo's turbos were..
  
  K03s are not big enough to run on ANYTHING besides a lawn mower, dirt bike, or your grandmas stock Jetta..
  
  VNT15 FTMFW... unless you are in a mk2/3, it becomes harder to make it fit..

  I'd put money on my k03 equipped diesel against yours haha
  
  Only cause you have no functioning vane control though lol.

  ive also got a big FAT crack on #4 runner, and about 8psi boost @ WOT..
  
  so, yea, you would DEFINITELY smoke me. but i would put on the better smoke show ;-)
  
  and i HAVE TOO had vane control, just not ideal vane control.. K03 wastegate actuators just dont last long enough..
  
  ive gone thru 3 actuators, the diaphragms tear out of them, and then my vanes quit working..
