The absolute cheapest brand new turbocharger you can buy for those engines is an aftermarket BorgWarner and will set you back no less than €1000 + shipping.
I had to. my stock turbos started leaking (common issue for Gen 1 EcoBoosts apparently).
Now when I hit the gas at 70 to pass an 18-wheeler, it's all pedal man. She just keeps giving.
You might of seen my thread about my blown turbo. I'm almost certain my Garrett GT28RS Turbocharger is blown and looking into possible replacements. This is the specs on this one. It flows nice and was really good for my current setup.
Stick with a Borg Warner replacement. Buy once, cry once. The price is worth the longevity and reliability.

The ko4 I have is borg warner.
I have a S362-SXE and I have full boost around 2700-2900 (may be earlier, I need to dig through my logs to check). I make about 600hp and 550rwhp on pump all day every day, no e85. Perfect street turbo.
They do.
I have had both on my jetta. IMO the 60-1 is not nearly as good of a daily driver as the t3/t4e. The 60-1 took longer to spool but when it hit, it reallly hit. the t3/t4e had a more smooth power band but still had a strong "hit" once fully spooled. You will get more power on the dyno sheet with the 60-1 but you will see more power that you can use on the 60 trim.
The CKRA has a smaller turbo than the CJAA. The CKRA turbo is also more prone to blowing up.
