on a 2L you will max out a K03 around 220fwhp give or take 15-20fwhp.
would spool like a motherf***er but will run out of steam at the top of the powerband.
would be a really good turbo if you were going to limit yourself to 200fwhp and a stock redline on a stock motor. you'd get great responce for AutoX...
as for the wastegate issue, you could fix it but i agree that welding it shut and running an external 38mm tial or similar would allow for better function.
if you replace the internal, later you could always upgrade to a K04 that a lot of the 1.8T VW/Audi guys are running...
