k04 turbo
Where / who has the best deal for k04 upgraded turbos for our audis? I recently saw the RP turbos but also stumbled onto a volkswagen site that sells them for 400 with a 1 year warranty. I have a compressor seal that is leaking and need to replace the turbo soon.
Thanks much

Those are made in China which is why they are so cheap and dont even look like a borg warner K04. Stick to buying a real BW K04 or the RP version. I think one of the shops is having a RP A4 1.8t turbo GB on another forum. http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...8T-NEW-PRODUCT!
Auditech79 - Maybe you forgot but the Passat is a VW and also has a longitude engine. :P

There were definitely Passats with 1.8T engines; I've seen quite a few of them driving around. TBH, I would have considered one over my A4 if I could get past the looks; for some reason, the differences in style between the VW and the Audi really bug me; I love the looks of the A4, but the Passat doesn't work for me at all. Funny how small changes can make a big difference.
Also, finding a Passat 1.8T in 4WD with a manual trans isn't necessarily easy, whereas with the A4, that configuration seems to be a bit more common.

The passat has had the 1.8t 20v for nearly as long as the B5 A4 1.8t. The Passat 1.8t dates back to 1996 in europe and then a little after we got it in 97 here in NA. It even came with the AEB motor which is found in the A4 1.8t here in NA from 97-99.5.

Back in 2001 when I went with the PES T28 kit my very first chip I had was one they did in a Passat 1.8t which had the same engine/ECU as my 2000.
