K04 vs F23T

urbanevil

Ready to race!
OK so in the next 90 days I will be choosing my new turbo. I'm deadlocked between the CTS K04 kit, or F23T from Frankenturbo.

I would like anyone with 1st hand experience of either. I'm not looking to start any bashing,flaming, etc.. Just want the facts.

Thanks in advance!

I have a F23T:

-I do not know if this is a problem with all TOP, but I had leaking issues with the Frankenturbo TOP on the end that connects to the intercooler hose. I made something to fix the problem, but just know it's an issue.

-The GFB DV+ didn't seem to work well with my f23t. The turbosmart DV does though.

-MOST IMPORTANTLY I'm a dumbass and more qualified people should be on here soon to help you out.

Hence why I was trying to keep it on-track, and wanted to hear peoples experiences. Actually FriggenT is the reason I started contemplating a K04, over the F23T( I was dead set on it beforehand). So I just wanted honest answers from people who had them, as opposed to Speculation lol.

Thanks,

My suggestion is to google search the f23t threads. We know about the k04, it even comes standard on the R. So what you are really looking for is f23 information. The 2 or 3 major threads up here will give you what you want. I don't want to tell you pick one of the other. But I was in your exact shoes a few months ago, and decided on the k04.
