Rebuilding a blown k04

[.Mad Hatter.]

Worth it?

How much would it cost, where is a GOOD place to get it done, and can they be build better than stock spec?

SP51R. but you got to ship it to poland lol.

[.Mad Hatter.]

lol, that might be a stretch.

i checked out g-pop shop, but they dont offer the high performance rebuild for the ko4, i dont even know if the standard rebuild would cover everything i need to get it working again.

[dingguhlbary]

id rather just buy a new one. my opinion though. good luck man!

[.Mad Hatter.]

i dont even know how much i can get the blown one for, it would have to be dirt cheap for me to want it and then rebuild it...just curious what my options are.

[legionvr6]

you can get the standered SP51 rebuild kit for like 250 and get a shop to rebuild it with the upgraded impeler for like another 200

[.Mad Hatter.]

well at that price unless I get the turbo for $100 i might as well buy a new one.

the standard rebuild kit will be sufficient for rebuilding to stock spec? any chance it can be done by me?

[.Mad Hatter.]

nobody has ever done a rebuild on a k04?

their k04 upgrade kit is only good for 210hp...

can someone enlighten me, when a turbo goes, what exactly fails?

i think you mean 260whp

usually the seals on the turbo go, there can also be compressor and blade damage

[.Mad Hatter.]

lol @ 260whp.

like i mentioned above, the standard rebuild includes no hard parts, so i guess it all depends on whats wrong with the old turbo.

the high performance rebuild includes all said parts, but apparently according to the g-pop shop site they dont offer it for the k04

I would call G-Pop Shop. I've talked to them they do high performance K04 rebuilds.

AudiRacerS4 260whp? Who told you that? Try 260chp. 180-200whp if your lucky.

[.Mad Hatter.]

inside joke from 4T, lol.

I believe AudiRacerS4 made 217whp on a gpopshop K04, p&p and boost controller @ 26psi.

[.Mad Hatter.]

thats not too shabby at all.

i am going to email them and find out more, thanks for the insight guys, ill post up what i find out.

i would just go BT a k04 just isnt worth it you'll spend the money on the rebuild and will want more power in a couple of month's sleep on it for a couple nights then make the decision!!
