Will this fit our Polo's

[jasn78]

nah mate, it wont fit urs anyhow will fit mine

[VWindahouse]

Jas, you stirrer don't you have some work to do???

[hkogti]

It is cheap... it should fit, but you need some gaskets i guess...

It is very confusing, is it a real KKK or it only made to KKK spec?

[jasn78]

Jas, you stirrer don't you have some work to do???

i am working unlike most pple i can multi task lmao but im also with hko it is prob a chinese copy at that price. it may work ok or it may crap itself

Not sure if it the correct one. The one in the picture has the silencer similar to the standard Pog turbo, my K04 - 001 from APR does not. It also mentions K03 - 004 in the description??

That picture is the stock K03 from the Polo's. Their description and pictures don't match .... a K04 does not look like that.

I'd be wary buying that, especially as they are overseas.

It could have plastic impellers. they gotta save somewhere..

Id be iffy.. Better to Go to APR, Pay up and get it properly.

the sellers feedback is all positive apart from

"Fake turbo Car misfires and whines loud Seller not answering 350 USD fake part"

and

"The item was a knock off, and I got to pay for the shipping back. Buyer beware."

i think that answers the OP's questions. they're more than likely chinese rip offs.

Ok so what I can tell is this one is not a Borg Warner or KKK brand turbo but the picture is identicle to the one from the Dragon Parts site from China seen here

Which are highly recommended from More-BHP in the UK who are a well known sponsor on the UK-POLO.NET forum thread is seen here

http://www.more-bhp.com/project_polo_gti.html

so it's a Chinese made K04-001 for about 650AU landed with a 12 month warranty.

Who thinks it's worth a go???

More BHP are working with Blueflame too i noticed who have Ian Birch (legend) who used to be with Dubsport. Mate the right names are being dropped in the more bhp site for sure, ill call another mob who are very similar to these guys who are still mad into big mods in the UK. A little more research should have answers. Yeah you will know all about having no silencer WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! yeha!

Thanks Jmac

The JBS04 sounded fantastic when spooling up with no silencer. You can barely hear the S3. I am tempted to see about taking that silencer out....
