Does anyone know if a KO3 sport turbo off a VW 337 will just bolt right up on a A4? I can get one for free and I'm not sure if it is worth the time to do. I know I will not much of a gain from it but I'm in the middle of saving up for Stage III and just want a little more BOOST for free...

it will only fit a TT because of how it's shaped. K03 sport is the same size but with diff turbine blades, I belive!

It was just a Idea I had, but no one knows for sure on the why it would not work......

The VW turbos are completely different than the Audi turbos.. So they arent interchangable.. But they are in fact both K03's..
Here are some pics..
Vw Turbo:

Audi Turbo(well, not really but this one is "oriented" the right way.. Just like an Audi turbo)

As you can see, the cold side of the turbos are positioned differently.. The Vw's turbo cold side outlet if facing up, where as the Audi's is facing down (with respects to the manifold placement)
Hope this helps! [:D]

You can, but that turbo spins at a zillion RPM.. So if you dont put it back together properly, gooooooooood bye turbo and possibly other things..

Yeah it's not worth all this work just to run it for just a year or until I get the stage III. Also have you ever heard of anyone doing this?
But I should get A for effort on this one. [:p]
