HI,
Im looking to buy a new Ko4-001 for my Turbo S beetle, that has every upgrade, except the turbo.Im looking some on ebay, but, the guys are telling me to get the correct measurements of the flanges?btw, the manifolds are stock.

The turbo I have is stock of the AWP engine my beetle has.
This is what im looking for:

The turbo pictured in your link is a K04-002. You need a K04-001 if you want a direct bolt-on. This is what you need and here is where to get it...http://www.kineticmotorsport.com/pro...er-36-143.html

aight, and can the difference in price differ so much, that one goes for 300-350, the 001 goes for 700-800 or so..

and, regarding the DV, it has 3 springs and some like adapters that look like coins.how should i determine which ones i need to be using?

cause, sometimes, when the boost aint that high, it sounds like when u spin a coin and its stopping, like, if the DV goes up and down real fast.. not sure if thats normal

normal under partial throttle and low boost. just as long as it dosn't flutter under high boost.

k, now, im having some issues here with boost.I wanted the dudes that do the REVO flashing to get me on Stage 2.I ahve everything that they reccomend, plus some other things.
We ran this test, from i think 2kRPM ro 6kRPM in 3rd shift, and, the Computer is saying im getting under 25-40% less boost , than what the N75 or W/E is asking for.Any common ideas on what this may be.All the SMIC are stock, aswell as the inlet hoses.I guess that is a lot of boost loss, or can the PC be throwing some off numbers, since its chipped, or out of normal parameters?
