is it still the donut sized k03 that comes on the 2.0t?
Is KKK still making the turbo for the new 2.0t?

I have pdf at home, but it's a modified, and I think majorly modified "K03".... here's a pic of it:

that's what I was understanding, then I heard that kkk and borg warner merged, which may be bad or good, depending on whose prints they are using

They have always been the same company.
Most of the modifications were made so that the turbo could be an integrated part of the exhaust manifold. The turbo and manifold are one piece and are replaced, if necessary, together.

Right.. I guess my point was "Borg Warner" has never been separate from KKK turbolader.

| KKK and Schwitzer combined to make borg-warner IIRC. They haven't been the same until they merged. |

variable area turbine nozzles for the win!
More vehicles need to come with them IMHO. You can get the best of both worlds that way...

Re: Is KKK still making the turbo for the new 2.0t? (jprempe)
Have you seen the document where it quotes our 2.0T FSI as a "twin scroll type" turbine?
It's not VNT, but it's a specially designed exhaust manifold and a matched twin scroll type wheel.
I'll have to dig that one up, too.. it's on the home computer somewhere. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Yep. It's like (similar) the twin scroll turbo on the current generation North American Evolution 9. Good design, but I'd still rather have VATN. My friends new Powerstroke F250 has a VATN turbo. Pretty nifty if you ask me.

VNT turbos aren't used on gas engines because the variable vane mechanisms can't tolerate the high EGTs of gas engines. Of course, Porsche has figured out how to make them reliable enough that the turbos on the new 997TT are VNT turbos (made by KKK, which calls their variable mechnaism "Variable Geometry Turbine"). Dodge had a turbo 4-cylinder that had a VNT turbo on it but it was notoriously unreliable due to turbo failure.

So riddle me this..
Are they using VNT type turbos on gas engines or not?
I could probably answer either way from your post

I think the PP mentioned VNT because of the Porsche, but I thought everyone knew that. When did KKK come back? I thought they merged with Schwitzer to form Borg-Warner several years back.

Re: Is KKK still making the turbo for the new 2.0t? (syntrix)
Ok. I'm just stating that they're still KKK turbo's. Same vendor that made the 20v's turbo. Borg warner's never mentioned or indicated when dealing with these turbos with VW.
