Mk5 General Area / Re: K03 turbo outlet diameter
« Last post by ZoliWorks on Today at 07:53:36 am »A 3 inch will be overkill for the K03 but will work if you later plan on going K04 because they use the exact same hot side downpipe mounts. Measurements are in cm.

Mk5 General Area / Mk5 Headliner Replacement - Suggestions
« Last post by g7jhp on Yesterday at 09:39:26 pm »The headliner on my 5 door Mk5 (non sunroof) has separated from the foam backing and now hangs from the front centre panel, rear centre light panel and back.
I've watched the video and will probably drop the headliner, clean it off and re-glue some new fabric and reassemble.
Having measured I think circa 140cm (wide) by 200cm (length) should be fine, but may go for 300cm.
Can anyone recommend where I can get a black headliner fabric which is like OEM?

Mk5 General Area / Re: K04 Conversion - Do you ever regret it? How is it for daily driving?
« Last post by ZoliWorks on Yesterday at 08:04:43 pm »Aight, went with the second option. Got a $420 used K04 off of a 2.0 TFSI BWJ that the owner upgraded to a GT35xx, built the engine and is now pushing well over 600hp according to his dyno logs. Turbocharge is by no means new but for a 225k km charger is in a pretty good shape with close to no play in the compressor wheel. In case it does break later on, it's a $300-$400 repair which is still only half of what a brand new oem charger would cost (I've looked at the local prices again, they are higher than I remember). Now all I need is good weather and I can get started on putting this car together as it's currently on stands in my garage.
Will be the first turbocharger I install but luckily I have people to rely on in case I need info on anything.

Mk5 General Area / Upgrade injectors for k04 turbo (fsi engine)
« Last post by Doomhand on Yesterday at 05:46:07 pm »I'm looking to upgrade my injectors along with the HPFP to support a k04 turbo, but it seems I'm kind of limited to what injectors I can use.
I've heard the best option is audi s3/golf R injectors with part number 06F906036F but they apparenly have very limited availability and are very expensive (around $250 usd for each).
What other options there are? I've heard that RS4 injectors have a different flow pattern and are difficult to tune. What about mk7 injectors? are they bigger? will they work?
I need to some options without spending 1k on it.
Thanks!

There is always a tiny bit of play on a disconnected turbo as there's no oil in the bearings, but it should be fairly minimal.
I've compared it with my 1.4's K02 turbo with 158k km on it. That one doesn't move whatsoever. This one moves up, down, left, right back and forth. You can hear it ticking as it hits the wall of the housing.
Right now I'm split between repairing this for $200 and using it till later when I'll get a brand new oem k04 for $1400 or getting a used k04 for $400 and using that if it's in a good enough condition.
