Title: ABT sports line turbo kit
Post by: dave on December 12, 2012, 11:31:34 am

Has anybody in here had any dealings with these kits for upgrading a k03 gti says the turbo is similar to a s3 turbo kit comes with everything you need as in injectors and all relevant pipes too.
Just wondering if anyone had bought one. Also claims expected power hike of 100bhp? Not sure how true that is

Its just a hybrid K03 if its like the X-Bow ABT upgrade kit.  Better off getting a proper K04.

Surely a hybrid K03 will be less reliable and more costly than buying a K04 which will make more power.

diverter valve is not bolted onto it so it cant be a k03. must be a k04 . . ask him for the serial no on the side of the turbo.

That turbo outlet pipe looks like an oem one for a K04 turbo.

So by similar, they mean the same  :grin:

Title: Re: ABT sports line turbo kit
Post by: dave on December 12, 2012, 07:52:22 pm

So is it just identical to an S3 turbo?

How much are they charging.  Think LOBA had new K04s available at pretty good value recently.  Or jut wait and watch the for sale section because KO4 turbo's are always popping up

Do bear in mind to get the best out of that turbo you'll need an uprated hpfp and S3 injectors.

i thought the HPFP was the same between all 2.0Ts? so if he's at Stage 2 or less surely there's no need?

Yeah i already have autotech internals and everything else on stage 2
