Yes they will but you'll also need the manifold, MAF housing and in tank pump to hybrid with your sender unit.

You'll also need to have a downpipe made

LCR 4 bar one would do fine?

also the manifold, uprated one orjust one that would come off say a TT225 for example?

LCR 4 bar FPR and fuel pump is what you need.

You can use the LCR or any other BAM stock K04 manifold. Obviously if you get an uprated one you'll benefit from this.

I have been informed the Relentless K04 manifold is the best on the market.
You can find them on Facebook.

turbo K04-023 and manifold that are used on a TT and LCR with BAM engine codes does NOT fit in a polo.
so don't bother buying it :wink:

What makes you think this?

There's a guy on here somewhere that has stated his friend has this set up fitted to his car?

Bearing in mind my turbo set up is bigger than a K04 but sits in the same place with the same downpipe take off I cant see any valid reason not to fit on a UK right hand drive car?

There has been talk of it not fitting to a left hand drive car due to the ABS pump or something.

yeah thats right, you guys have rhd vehicles :lol:
honeslty do not know sure about them, the rhd version do not have the sound intake pipe either, so it might work.

the lhd version like the one i have is not compatible with TT/LCR manifold and turbo.
indeed cause ABS sits in the way. Also the K04-023 turbo have the inlet and outlet on the opposite side of the one from a K03.

if it is possible for you guys to fit it, it's a good set up for going 260Hp-270hp with a good strong powerband.
as for the manifolds, are they that good in stock form?
hard to believe that a Jabbasport or JBS manifold is worse as it is was stock :?
so whats up with that?

ps: sorry for the wrong info :mrgreen:
