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.

 

Not sure if serious

 

I guess he doesnt know the k04 is the turbo the cobalt come with from factory lol

 

^ This lol

 

good laugh tho

 

He's either a troll, or he has some serious reading up to do on this car. lol

 

You can't turbo swap an lnf.

 

Get a K04R.

 

You can swap the turbo for another one.


And the k04 is the factory turbo OP

 

Pretty sure he was trolling being that he has a ZFR

 

I think he is trying to replace his turbo.

If ur gonna spend 8 plus hours doing a turbo swap, at least upgrade it, k04 is stock turbo

 

Just replacing my turbo guys sorry I'm not an expert but thanks for the feedback

 

Yup atleast upgrade to the k04r and its arpund the same price as the stock one

 

Cool do you know where I can get one is turbo bay the only one that sells it? Also would I need to buy new Oil and water lines?

 

They are the only one and no the stock limes all fit

 

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
