Why do people think the K04 is so small?
How many stock turbo cars are capable of making well over 300whp?
In reality they are not that small. Not to mention much more power is going to be a hassle in FWD cars.
I come from a 2g DSM with the t-25's. Maybe I'm just being ignorant, but I'm pretty sure cars like the WRX were having problem getting over 300whp with the stock turbo. Even with the 1g DSM's. They have the 14B which is pretty small, but not that small, and it doesn't make 300whp unless you really put work in.

Yes the K04, is a tiny turbo if you ever see it... But it does produce some very good numbers.

There are many different turbos that fit those specs you listed. GT3071 GT3076 GT2871 GT2876 and there are different A/Rs for each turbo as well. A GT3076 with the largest exhaust housing is going to spool at least 1,000 RPMs later than a 2871 with the smallest exhaust housing. A 3071 with the smallest exhaust housing is a good choice for this car as is the GT2871 with the middle or largest exhaust housing ( I cannot remember all the A/Rs LOL)
