I have two pump's going to Giles ( one for me ) & core and a new set of Injectors for him to adjust.

I will wait on a new Oil return line and for the price I will to have a new S/S oil supply made also.

So whats the goal for this turbo? All the K03 hybrids i've seen are the opposite to this, a k03 turbine & k04 compressor. A bit more lag but a more efficient top end here?

KO4 on the hot side , turbo works easier and will hold up longer

My KO3 was not in good shape, I sent in several cores that I had no use for KO3 & K14

I was happy with what I received from GPOPSHOP...

For me the ceramic coating on the housings was just a option and will complete my engine compartment

2.5 S/S down pipe and complete exhaust , new injectors and Lines with a Giles pump next week

I should have the Silicone AAZ engine hoses finished in about 5 weeks

well, what do you think happens to all those K03 cold sides and K04 hot sides? they gotta do something with all the unwanted parts. haha.

This is all new part's , balanced shaft also with impellers.

I added new supply line , new return line ( drain ) and all new hardware

Sending the Pump bracket out with the alt brackets for powder coating.

Waiting on new silicone hoses assys ( one piece design )versus those crappy three piece with a plastic tee that are known to leak.
