Default I'd get a KO4, personally.

I wouldn't trust the KO3's 3mm impeller shaft with the boost required for it to push 225hp. I've seen KO3s on the 150hp VW version running stock boost get wobbly and impact the walls of the housing. Bye bye turbo. I'd play it safe and get a heavier-duty turbo for 225hp.

Default Doesn't the K04 use the same shaft?

I thought it did. but the shaft speeds are less with the K04.
