Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

          Any chance of clarifying about the KO3 Sport, would like to know more about it.

              The 03s holds boost a lot better at the top end compared to the 03. There was one fitted to my Leon Cupra which I had up to 140mph indicated after it was chipped. There was some more to come but I ran out of road/bottle.

              A pretty cheap upgrade if your 03 died, I would go for one otherwise. Also you would need different software to get the most from it.

                  The K03 Sport is a modified version of the K03. This article (relating to the Passat 1.8T) explains what the differences between the K03 Sport, K03 and K04 Turbos are.

                            Guy might be able to tell us more as he has had his one off. this is the info off Project polo on vortex posted by guy.
                            K03 - 82 is the turbo that came off - its an 06A VW partnumber - so it does not cross over to any other VW's that I'm aware
                            From what im reading the K03s varient usually on the 1.8T that has 180hp (polo gti cup maybe). Nots sure so please correct meif im wrong.

                              I'll get the part number off a stock turbo if you can find out if its a K03 "Sport" or not - people in the industry dont refer to it as such - its a term that has developed on the forums from what I understand!

                              Part Number K03/82 710006962 (last bit is probably the serial number)

                                As far as I'm aware, the 110KW/150hp spec 1.8T came with the K03, whilst the 130KW/180hp spec 1.8T comes with a K03 Sport.

                                There's every chance the different turbocharger is the difference between the Polo GTI and Polo GTI Cup edition - rather than a simple reflash.

                                If Guy or Seb has a spare turbo or two lying around from a conversion - they might like to compare the two. From research (never eyeballed the things) - the K03 Sport should have a larger housing and impeller wheel.
