Dont bother with that, its cheap badly made rubbish and will dissolve in about 2k.

so has anyone on here used these ko3 052s from toyosport at all???

I love the way they say its a direct replacement for an Audi A4 when its clearly a pic of a transverse K03

I would give CR Turbos (other turbo suppliers are available) as a refurb on your existing turbo is not much more expensive and they typically refurb to K03s spec if asked...

problem with that is i dont have a spare one send to them as mine is a everyday runner.... i just thought buying brand new would stop the risk of failure??? lol

They will fail! They're not balanced and likely to blow up in a few 1000 miles. If you need a good Refurbed one I may have onenext week for not much more than that one. I can let you know. But honestly don't buy a cheap chinese one.

Cheers for the heads up!!! Would be interested in the referred one, but budget can't go much higher I am afraid!!
