Default my KO3

you can buy my K03 for very cheap, as it is currently sitting in my living room on a pedestal serving as a conversation piece. I never abused my car, used a Blitz turbo timer, changed the oil every 3000 with Mobil 1 and never autocrossed or dragged. make me aa reasonable offer and the piece is yours.

Default I replaced my turbo two weeks ago...

The wastegate rod snapped leaving me with 2psi. I replaced it with a used K03 from a 2k A4. I got it for $145 shipped and it cost me another $100 in install parts since I replaced the heat shield and oil supply line as well.

Install took me less than a day and is not that difficult if you have some mechanical ability and a decent selection of tools.

Thats the best thing that could possibly happen to you. You are now forced to upgrade!

Default I don't think so...you'll have to track him down and email him.

It's going to go pretty quickly. It's hard to find these kits used. From the looks of NJRickD's post below, he's trying to seal a deal.
