    ko4 question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Is the exhaust part of a ko4 the same as the ko3? I know the wastegate actuators are the same but are the exhaust parts that bolt to the mani and the cat the same. Cause my wastegate is making noise and I think my flap in the ko4 is breaking off. Can I just swap the exhaust part of a ko3 to the ko4 to solve that issue? How difficult would the swap be? Thanks!

    really? 1mm is a small #.

    Ok. Cause I'd much rather buy a used ko3, swap out the exhaust housing and have a functioning ko4 than spend another 800 for a ko4. Not to mention the ko4 is on backorder everywhere. Will that 1mm make a difference?
