turbo discharge pipe

Does anyone have pictures of the standard gti turbo discharge pipe next to the k04 discharge pipe?

pictures of both ends if possible!

cheers

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.

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..  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.

i see. Looks like i know what my job is on my day off.

[gazon69]

Its only a 15min job to get off matey. Easy job

yea but 15mins....the garage i gave money to should have done.

Well ye.

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.

If its sunny in the morning when i finish work i might just get the car up and look whats there.

Ok so i have the ko3 discharge pipe and on the end the k03 metal piece, what is that end bit called?

My k04 discharge pipe doesn't fit into it anyway so i need to buy that part.

Dont happen to have the part number do you?

cheers
