size of a golf 5 gti turbo

Post by GTIFAN »

I have a mate with a Golf 5 GTI he wants to buy all my OEM turbo from my Golf 6 gti.
Is my golf 6 turbo bigger or is it equivelant to his current turbo on bis 5 GTI?
I don't wanna give it to him if it is not gonna benefit him.
Thanks Guys

G5 is a K03 turbo
G6 is a IHI turbo (Seems to be stronger with supporting mods)

For him to install your turbo he needs to re-route the oil feed line iirc.. speak to Ruan9n as he knows all about this or even contact the Revo guys.

yebo, the ihi is a bit bigger. still smaller than the k04 but a little bigger than the k03. The k04 swap might be a bit of a better bet for him though.
But the IHI is a nice unit, im considering it for the 1.8t now...

Depends what you mean by bigger? Comp size/exhaust size...The physical size of the turbo is the same really. The IHI seems more efficient but the gains are not going to be huge...Nothing wrong with the K03 so I would not bother.

+1. KO3 turbo is strong. On the GTI with the right mods and software the car is :evil: .

What makes the mk6 better than the mk5 is not so much the turbo, sure it spools quicker and seems to hit 1.5bar easier than the kkk in the mk5, but also the mk6 has a better fuelpump and a better designed higher flowing head. If you plan on fitting an ihi to a mk5 make use of stealth or unitronic or YOSH and Riaz Junaid. They have fitted ihi's to mk5's and tuned them for it.

I diy'd it on my mk5 one saturday with a few mates without any prior experience. I ran into snag after snag and called it quits when a water feed line didn't reach. It would have worked wonders on my mk5 as the oem turbo was tired and I did have a HPFP upgrade along with a very customisable revo 2+ tune.

Hi All apologies to revive an old thread.
I have an Audi A3 8P 2.0TFSI and it is fitted with a golf 6 IHI Turbo. the car had a stainless steel Intake which i removed and now wanna put on the S3 top cover. please can someone advise me where or what do i do with the thickish pipe on the tappet cover used to go to the original turbo before i changed it to IHI. This pipe was previously connected to the intake.
when i had the intake that pipe connected straight onto the intake.
