Choice of turbo K03 or GT1752
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi all, my first post. I have an engine that I going to rebuild, will have the head converted to the BMW K1100 and will be turbocharged, I know there is a lot of other parts that will get replaced but for now my question is that I have a K03 from a 2.0tfsi they peak 15psi boost will be looking at 10 - 12 probably, will this turbo be able to work? Or am I better off purchasing a GT1752. The engine will be fuel injection with coils rather than a dizzy and will have a megasquirt ECU. I understand the K03 has a DV which will be replaced with a BOV.

Thanks,

Dan

Depends what power you're after, and when in the rev range. a K03 is similar size to a T20/T25 if i remember correctly.

IIRC the K03 have an VNT-ish funtionality.
Not sure if you can work around that easily.(?)

Dazed and Confused....

The 1752 or 2056 is well proven in this application. I’d be looking at those personally.

Cheers guys, only asked as it was sat in my shed doing nothing, can't even sell it for £50 🤣🤣

Thanks,

Dan
