you keep the shell of the turbo but change the internals to something beefier eg porsche cayenne/ko4 hybrid  :evilgrin:

however, revo told me is a waste of time and just to go straight to stg 3, not sure whether this is eniterlt correct though?

FR&R Tuning used to advertise a hybrid upgrade for the K04. Its not on their site anymore though.
£595+VAT - includes a K24 compressor wheel. clipped turbine wheel and an upgraded bearing.

Universal Turbo's offer an upgrade also
£500+VAT - includes a bigger compressor wheel (type unknown), and upgraded bearing.
They dont clip the turbine wheel but can do free of charge if required

Both of the above include a full overhaul.
If the turbine wheel needs replacing this works out at approx £150+VAT

so is this a way to upgrade my k03s turbo with better internals without having to fit and relocate a k04?

IE i could do this hybrid thing and just bolt it back in the OEM place... bit of mapping and thats it?

The turbo gets stripped down and the turbo wheels get changed, so you end up getting more power basically

Loba offered me a discount for returning my stock turbo.  Not sure if that's an option for the KO4 though.

Alternatively ask BDMAlex or steve at stadtlers what they did with theirs
