    Do you already have Intake, Exhaust, Down Pipe, Diverter Valve, Dog Bone mount inserts, clutch/pressure plate, lightened flywheel, Intercooler upgrades? If not, you are pushin rope.
    Get what you can from an OEM turbo, you may find you dont need a better turbo, and regardless, you'll need 1/2 that list either way once you get 225WHP, and 275 WTQ.
    Besides, I'd rather have a 240 hp K03 than a 240 hp w/ anything bigger.

    so ur sayin if ya got a ko3s there is no need to get an ko4???
