After soaking the turbine to downpipe studs in penetrating oil overnight I was able to remove them from the turbine housing so I could mount the K03 turbocharger on the flowbench.
Fresh back from being rebuilt, my BorgWarner K03’s.

My first order of business will be trying to get the studs out of the turbine housings so that I can put these on the flow bench to see how the turbine housing compares to it’s big brother BW K04’s.
Rounding out the collection of stainless steel lines with AN fittings, (for the time being), are a set of wastegate lines made available through AU Tuning. Behind the scenes Paragon Performance and Marc (cinesnow on AZ) brought these products to the market.
The set I requested had a slight bit of customization to them, a set of adapters for use on the wastegate actuator lines or compressor housing signal lines that I could attach a pressure sensor to.
These lines look awesome, so much so that I decided to add a photo gallery with close up pictures of them. It’s a shame they’ll be getting dirty soon, but I’ll drive more confidently knowing these robust lines are in place.
