DONT USE on the honda very small the trim sizes are smaller then a t2 less than .42 a/r the VW guys usally swap them cause they over spool them in less then three months they take too much abuse and if u do use ie good luck it is good for about 190 hp at 10 psi thats it

I'm using a K03 on my 1.4 8v (Peugeot). Even on this tiny engine that has 80 hp stock, it gives full boost (17psi) at about 2500. Don't know what engine you are going to put it on, but most likely the turbo will be far to small.
But if you fancy no lag, instand boost at any rpm and don't want big hp numbers, it's a great turbo.

Re:vw turbo? k03turbo? help!
when i first thought about boosting my d16a6 i wanted to use that turbo but everyone said it was too small, and i wouldnt make any power at all
if a 1.8l engine can make ~200whp with it, why couldnt a 1.6l make more?

Re:vw turbo? k03turbo? help!
so the question i have is, has anyone used them on a d-series? anyone know if they make adapter plates for them or if i could get one made? i am slightly concerned on how the down piping route will be, i dont wanna use something that will be a PITA. really this is just for a daily driver 1.5 so if i could get 160-170whp that would be fine by me
