    Frankenturbo F23

    Hi guys,

    Been quite a while since I posted here. I've traded up to a SEAT Ibiza Cupra 1.8T. Currently running Unitronic Stg2 with supporting mods.

    Thing is the turbo is on its way out. Since the Ibiza and Polo share the same platform I wanted to check if anyone has tried the Frankenturbo F23 kit? I searched but can't seem to find anything definitive.

    The F23 is for the S3/TT225 (K04)

    I have the F4t which has been replaced by the F21 which is bolt up for the golf/polo 1.8T (K03)
    MODS- TOO MANY

      Correct. I was just wondering if anyone had tried it on our platform. I know the OEM K04 setup fits, was just wondering about the F23 as it's slightly larger.

        You can probably use it but the downpipe will need attention.

          They do sell an adapter to mate to the k03s flange. My main concern is clearance to the firewall. Limited space back there.

            You would be better asking in the UK mate. Much more likely that someone has done it there. Bill Brockbank would be the one to know for sure. Have a look on the UK Seat forums though.

              Yeah I have checked there. Badger Bill mostly uses a local UK company to hybrid OEM K04's. I couldn't anything around there.

              On Vortex I found a reference to someone in Oz doing an F23 build on their Polo. Thought the guy may be on here, but when searching proved futile I thought I'd ask.

                Not heard of anyone doing that in Australia. I have fitted 2 billet converted K03s and 2 Frankenturbos. There's plenty of power in all of them. Very close to being too much power really.
