Since I bought this car a year ago, I've had a weird boost issue. Car sometimes felt slow, sometimes felt normal. No codes or anything. In full boost, it would majorly surge, followed by a small power cut, throughout the rev band. Thought it was diverter valve, nope. My wastegate actuator rod has play. Since it's internally wastegated, I guess it's time for a turbo. I can get a known good OEM used K03 replacement for $550. Or should I upgrade? People are saying to ditch the car and go new or something else. I love this car and see it's potential. It does need some work, I need a RR brake caliper, rear pads and rotors, a passenger front CV axle soon, needs tires and an alignment, and my subframe clunks REAL bad. And now this, but I can still drive the car. Ditch car? Get just a K03? Or upgrade? If I were to upgrade what should I get?? K04? I don't want to ruin my bank account.
