    It is cheap... it should fit, but you need some gaskets i guess...

    It is very confusing, is it a real KKK or it only made to KKK spec?

    Not sure if it the correct one. The one in the picture has the silencer similar to the standard Pog turbo, my K04 - 001 from APR does not. It also mentions K03 - 004 in the description??

    That picture is the stock K03 from the Polo's. Their description and pictures don't match .... a K04 does not look like that.

    I'd be wary buying that, especially as they are overseas.

    It could have plastic impellers. they gotta save somewhere..

    Id be iffy.. Better to Go to APR, Pay up and get it properly.

    the sellers feedback is all positive apart from

    "Fake turbo Car misfires and whines loud Seller not answering 350 USD fake part"

    and

    "The item was a knock off, and I got to pay for the shipping back. Buyer beware."

    i think that answers the OP's questions. they're more than likely chinese rip offs.

    Ok so what I can tell is this one is not a Borg Warner or KKK brand turbo but the picture is identicle to the one from the Dragon Parts site from China seen here

    http://www.dragonparts.cn/b2b_cpinfo.asp?id=826

    Which are highly recommended from More-BHP in the UK who are a well known sponsor on the UK-POLO.NET forum thread is seen here

    http://www.more-bhp.com/project_polo_gti.html

    so it's a Chinese made K04-001 for about 650AU landed with a 12 month warranty.

    Who thinks it's worth a go???
