its very tiny = fast spool, my friend ran 20psi on his jetta with it. it is a decent turbo for a junkyard setup but i dont know how far over 200whp it can support.

Re: GTI Turbo KO3 (IMPULSE B18C-T)
so would 80 bucks for it be worth it? I am going to put it on my d16. Also how hard would the making of a manifold be for this? or would it be the same as any other one?

k03s are horribly unreliable. they blow seals frequently. I know this because, my buddy works at a VW dealership and he has 10 that are all fucked up. if you do get one, get it rebuilt before you bolt it up.
