Turbo swap on 09 lnf
Hey guys I need to install a new turbo into my Balt and was thinking about going with a k04. Has anyone on here done the switch? Zzp states it goes on as a bolt on but they also offer a k04 manifold and water and oil lines. Want to know everything I need so I do it right and don't mess up another turbo.

K04r flows 10-15% more than the stocker and the oil feed on the bearing is a bit bigger, upgraded thrust bearings and whatnot too. I popped mine in over a weekend. Now I just need Wiseco pistons as a K04r + Trifecta budget tune + going WOT 100 times a day = sad, low compression cylinder 1
