    Cheap turbo kit

    What do you reckon to this? if it fits the polo it's a steel at $850 delivered - it would cost that just for a fmic

    I don't think this would be bolt on, also I don't think the turbo is a genuine but a cheap copy. Interesting, I'd have a look on Vortex for more info.

    Those kits are rubbish..

    I read somewhere on a forum that those cheap eBay turbos are put together using epoxy

    I also found this - the K04-001 is a direct bolt on replacement to the std K03, correct?

    It is not genuine, likely to die prematurely. If you are looking for a genuine one, it will say Borg Warner and KKK. Cheap ones are made if likely inferior materials.
