Yesterday I tackled the IS20 installation. It took about 4-5 hours and overall wasn't too difficult. The car definitely feels better. It should've come like this from the factory!
Mine has over 200k now, still running the stock turbo. I will probably keep this car for awhile.
My first vw was a 2001 Jetta Wolfsburg with 1.8t. I had the car from new drive it until it had 450k original turbo.
Mine just let go at 161400
I have 155K+ (chipped at 100k) on the original ko3, It has outlasted the clutch (100k) and exhaust (135k) full synthetic every 5k, always cool down after a hard drive. Still solid.
Well if it matters I just hit 108k miles on my k03s. Been chipped since around 60k. Added a tbe at around 80k. I used whatever the dealer told me to use for my warranty period (50k) changed every 5k miles. I switched to full synthetic since then and still change every 5k. Change the plugs every 40k until I switched to the NGK 7Es which I change every 10k. Timing belt every 60k, fuel filter every 50 along with tranny fluid. I just hit 108k yesterday and I still have the original clutch and dv.
In my '00 Golf it lasted 189,000 miles. 174,000 miles chipped.
