Next size up from k03 for a low mounted turbo??

[bbob203]

What's the next size up in this style turbo?

k14?

[bbob203]

k14?

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

[burn_your_money]

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.

Two Ko3?

One per two cylinders? That'd be ideal...

They both can operate at 73% for a big efficiency island..... haha

[bbob203]

how much better is a k04?

[8v-of-fury]

For the m-tdi???

[8v-of-fury]

Of the three maps i have readily available, They are only good to like 160hp.

For the m-tdi???

probably more for my 1.6. mtdi will probably get a gt2056 when I have the cash.

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..
