Default Thoughts on Ko3/16 turbo ??

Running the K16 compressor wheel ??

Would more then likely go with the zero clearance option as well..

No i dont care about ko4's so please, no ko4 talk.

I likey me some small Ko3's and all of my stock inlet piping.

this would def. be a help to put me in the 11's

Default Thats a very small turbine trying to turn a compressor...

that was designed with a much larger turbine in mind. If you are hell bent on K03's the you should think about a smaller compressor.

Default Go K03/K04 .....

Other than that those K03's are just to damn small on the turbine side to do much with.

Some people were running out of boost up top, even though N75 duty cycle was all the way up.

Default If your gonna do it, do it right imo go KO4/RS6 with some options. Heartier turbo.....

and less prone to failure. I just dont see spending all that time and effort on KO3's when you can get KO4's for about the same price
