Howdy Folks,

Sorry if this question has already been answered, but I searched through a good page and a half of 'turbo' references and didn't find an answer to my specific question. If you know the answer is out there and want to post me a link, that would be fantastic.

Here is the really quick version. I have 2007 B7 A4 2.0T Quattro. I unknowingly purchased it with a blown turbo (dumping oil), so I replaced it with a 'good condition' used turbo from this forum. It was way worse. So now I'm back to square one. So here is my question.

Is there any benefit to purchasing an aftermarket turbo if I don't plan on tuning the car or adding any other mods? If I buy an oem K03, or K04, or APR (just to pick a random manufacturer), will it benefit an otherwise stock set up?

Thanks, and looking forward to your help.
