Dumbass question time
i need to check the number of blades on my turbo. I can do this apparently by looking into the intake, but i have no clue where this is, where am sposed to be looking? i assume i have to remove some stuff to do this?

isnt your turbo hidden right down the back of the engine? I drove a Cupra today, dont think it was standard, it was fooking rapid!!

If you are remapped to 230bhp you have a K03S.
To look you will need to remove the TIP, and either reduce your head by 75% to stick it down there and look in, or use a mirror to have a peek.

Unsure on what the diff codes mean. But you do get different types of K03S.
Some have a silencer and some dont. Doesnt make a diff to the power they make though.
