[xJmagik]

Alright All

i unfortunatley blown my turbo the other day.

i have a seat ibiza Mk3 stage 2 remap, front mount intercooler uprated breakes cool air intake system. full miltek system.


basically since i have blown my turbo i was thinking about uprating... maybe to an IHI turbo
if i did this what do you recomend i would have to change. i no i would definatley have to uprate the injectors but what to?...

has anyone uprated there turbo? if so what did you change... would really help as i wana get my lil beaut back up and running better than she's ever been.
thanks

what turbo are you running ko3? It takes shed loads of cash and alotish of work to convert to ihi or similar a very decent upgrade from ko3 is ko3 hybrid but then it takes quite abit of stuff do a search mate there is loads of info on the diffrent turbo setups and you can make up your own mind from there

 

[-=Rob=-]

Just get a k03s on it, cheap as chips upgrade to the k03 with no messing... Depends on budget really, how much do you have to invest?

 

[xJmagik]

yeah i was just running a K03 yeah i no it takes a bit of work but am thinking it would prob be worth it it the long run.. yeah i herd goos things about K03s turbos... so im going to look in that route also however you would still need to change the injectors though wouldnt you?

 

[truCido]

for KO3s you don't have to change anything as you already have everything, your map will need a little tweaking ideally.

IHI is going to cost you quite a lump of money, where as the KO3s is prob going to be about £500/£600

as above really ko3s will be around £500 -700 inc map or the hybrid will come in around the 1k mark but you will get more bang for your buck with hybrid, this is making me wish i went straight to hybrid

 

[xJmagik]

ok thanks would you know where i would be able to get hold of a k03s??

 

[tom w]

loads of places cr turbos ,backdraft , dare i say it ebay ! Or even someone on here might have one for sale????

 

[xJmagik]

ok thanks mate much appreciated!

ok thanks would you know where i would be able to get hold of a k03s??

i've got CR TURBOS converting my spare k03 to a k03s £395 with uprated thrust bearing was going hybrid but having to change the rods inc labour made me think

 

[xJmagik]

yeah thats what made me think about not uprating to a k04 just to much to do plus labour will be out of my budget really.. ill have a look into cr turbos refurbing mine and changing it to a k03s like you. definatlery a good option

 

[chris_200120vt]

yeah that why im getting mine done would love hybrid due to having all the parts but just short of the money if i could of got away without changing the rods would of done it in a shot but when your quoted £450 in labour plus parts plus vat plus the rods made me

It does cost more to upgrade to hybrid than 1k, as you would need, hybrid turbo ~ £600, turbo exhaust mani, T-B exhaust and intercooler (which you may already have), injectors, 3" maf, new T.I.P, custom map or stage 3...labour if not fitting yourself.

no need to change rods with hybrid k03 turbo.......

 

[tarzan]

No NEED but you will be in break rods territory...

 

[chris_200120vt]

when i had a chat with bill he said it is best to change rods as there is a big chance of bending one

 

[M87NER]

depends on how much torque it will be running, think i only knew one person who changed rods ect going hybrid which was RobbieC (or something like that) in a blue ibiza. nothing wrong with urgrading then if you have the money you can do it,

 

[xJmagik]

yeah to be fiar for the time being im going to probably upgrade then do the rods with my next pay check!

 

[xJmagik]

alright guys..

i have just been quoted the below for a k03s? does this seem right in what i would need to run a k03s??

Ok just need to know the bhp of your car as this will determine what turbo you already have,the last price for the turbo that I had was £1086.88inc I might well be able to do it a bit cheaper for you.You will need 225 audi injectors etc as well to take advantage of this turbo and a large downpipe also you will need a ph3 custom-code if you want us to map it!


thanks

who stated the above ??? Was that for a standard ko3s? Or hybrid???
