Hi guys so I have a audi a4 1.8t bfb 2005 cabriolet and been looking at upgrading to a k04 and I'm just wondering what ones fit as a replacement I'm currently looking at two k04-023?
turbo chargers! k04

Sorry I didn't mean to come across rude. I just ment there is no information about what turbo that one is. I'm already watching a few turbos that are a hell of a lot cheaper
The plug and play K04 for the B6 is the k04-015. Some people prefer the BEX turbo instead of the K04 (K03-073).
OK so what if I brought a Chinese k04-015. And a new compressor wheel could I take the hot side from my turbo (k03-029 I think) along with all the insides (maybe a rebuild kit) and the cold side from the Chinese turbo along with a better compressor wheel would this work as a hybrid?
Why not just get wg ported and run the 015? The hybriding will cost you dearly in balancing and machining
Wg ported?? I'm new to all this. but at the same time i'd like to find the cheapest way, I mean my turbo is fine nothing wrong with it at all just not enough boooooossssttt!!
If it's working fine, keep it as a backup for when the chinese/hybrid fails. Do you have supporting mods? because a larger turbo will be restricted by the exhaust, single SMIC, small (?) injectors, tune. I'd start with those.
Hello Twaz,
Youve got the same engine and car as me.
I also looked into this but the problem is how our turbos are fitted in our engine bay. As above, doubt that the K04 will fit.
Why dont you do what I will do and contact BBT on here (Beach Buggy Turbos) and see if the guy has built a hybrid to fit in our engine bay? You will then be able to see 260BHP with supporting mods.

Why just buy something when u can make something come on guys! You can get all the insides for a hybrid turbo on ebay for £250 would that just drop isn't my turbo?
Did you upgrade everything I've listed, except the injectors?
I would NOT pick up a Chinese turbo, not even for the housing. Even if it's machined to be exactly like the KKK ones (and could fit your core), I seriously doubt the material is the same as the KKK ones'.
