MTM S3 Turbo conversion Question

[Pat]

Well my s3 has been stripped and will not be using the manifold, turbo, external wastegate and downpipe..

Only thing is i aint got a ****** clue what turbo is on it.. Can anyone help me..

I`m looking to sell as its no good for the power i want, also what would you think its worth to sell???

 

[superkarl]

ahhhh its only a crappy cheapo thing, il give you a tenner for it all in haha

 

[Pat]

and some skittles

Well reading your sig i would guess a K26 turbo? lol

 

[Pat]

i was told that but im not 100%..

 

[rusty s3]

i heard they were k26 as well.

 

[ash3435]

whats the difference between the k26 and standard ko4

 

[Pat]

I honestly dont know.. they seemed very cagey when i phoned asking what exactly had been done..

 

[ash3435]

was this already on the car when you had it.what kind of torque figure are you getting with the 297bhp and have you got a dyno print out.

 

[rusty s3]

i think the 996 porka has the k26? not 100% though.

 

[Pat]

Yeah got a print out with 300ft LB of torque

 

[ash3435]

got me really interested now.seem like its a lot of hard work for mtm to just get them figures. standard ko4would not be far off and a hybrid would walk all over it .

 

[Pat]

The orginal conversion claimed more power.. It works well and stays strong all the way to the limiter.. BUT it wont get me the figures i want

 

[badger5]

hybrid k04 performs better than the k26 figures posted and is bolt on.. cant see these days why you would want to use a kit like this bang for buck comparison its way more $ for no more power

 

[Pat]

I totally agree, whoever paid the 10k bill must be mad..
