Default Turbo + Manifold mating issues?

was just wondering if the KKK K03 turbo sourced from an audi will bold up to a honda-spec collecting manifold? The k03 has a built-on wastegate; and is found stock on audi 1.8T. Jus wondering, because all the K03s go for dirt cheap, those crazy audi headsh:

you could probably get a manifold that would work built for you, but that thing looks really funky.

Yes, with a custom manifold.


Of course, a custom manifold will most likely be more expensive than buying a mass produced manifold and matching turbo.

or you could do what most people do, use a cx/hf manifold, and make an adaptor plate. Having friends that are machinists kicks ass!

just get a T25 from a dsm, it's too much trouble to customize a manifold to fit that kkk besides it's really small.

what kinda turbo are you running with?
Can you upgrade the wastegate on the T25 ? (it does have a built on wastegate, right?)

I thought small would be alright though, for quick spool up. The KKK pushes around one bar stock on the 1.8 (14.2 lbs on my friends A4).

but i dunno really, wanted to turbo my car b4 next summer. You know.
