Default k03 turbo?

I have a 2001 a4 1.8t all wheel drive with a blown turbo. I was wondering if a turbo from an 07 VW GTI 1.8 would bolt on to my Audi. Both are K03 turbos.

thank you

What years should I be looking for to replace my turbo? Any comments on the Chinese turbos available on ebay?

thanks again!!

German car + chinese turbo = FAIL.

Your best bet is to get a stock turbo from another B5 A4.

or you could go up to a k04. its a little faster and a little more expensive. it just bolts into place of the stock k03.

So I'm looking for a 97-01 turbo in either a k03 or k04? Can I use either an Audi or VW?
