914World.com _ 914World Garage _ OT: Need a New Turbo

Posted by: nyum96 Apr 28 2005, 05:28 PM

Maybe I can get some help here. I need to find a reasonable place on a new or rebuilt turbo for my 01 New Beetle. The curent set up is a K03. I have tried other boards but all I get are stupid responses and the recommendations to to upgrade for $3000 more..

I dont have the part number yet but I am looking at around $400 (ebay) to $1000.

I have a friend that owns Michigan Turbo in Grand Rapids. Get the part number and I'll source it for you.

Per a couple of VW dealerships and it does sound right:

Turbo is KO3-053 or 058

06A 145 704 LX

06A 145 704 S (sport) same as the above but with more blades. I would like this one if price is similar.

Thanks for the fast help!
