No pics but the metal part of both are identical.
Where they differ is the size of the outlet that attaches to the turbo (k04 larger than k03) and corresponding silicone/rubber tubing.
Without traction power is nothing!

Only way I can see this happening is if you bought one of APR's new k04 stealth turbos.
Do you have the relocated dv hosing visible in the engine bay as if you do then you'll not have the APR turbo.

I had the DV relocated to the front of the engine..  :grin: magic

Here you go matey.


The one on the left is k04 with the red piping and much larger opening. The one from the k03 will fit the k04 as the mounting points are the same, just you will have less air flow. I'd get under the car and see if you have the black silicone pipe as thats prob the only way to tell without taking the whole pipe off.  :happy2:

I am fairly certain a k03 discharge pipe would not bolt up to the k04 turbo outlet as the dimensions and bolt holes placement appear different.
