Not sure why you have posted this in the members only area?
You need to read the tuning sections on the forum and read the knoledge. There are many many different set ups with all different results. You need to assess what works best for you and what your goal is.

"Stage 1" is an arbitrary term, but different people will have different ideas on what "Stage 1" actually means

However, this thread is the generally accepted norm for the various stages of Coupe tuning - well worth a read

It's very confusing. If you look at FC Performance Dyno League you will see hybrid stage 1, hybrid stage 2 and hybrid stage 3 cars listed.

I know these are the two specs from CR turbos:

Stage 1 = 360 bearing, uprated seals 60 trim compressor
Stage 2 = 360 bearing, uprated seals 62 trim compressor, high flow exhaust turbine (the spec escapes me at the moment)

In this thread the turbo is quoted as having a 60 trim compressor and is a stage 2, but on the dyno thread it's listed as a stage 1.

In his 3rd post on this thread Spit / Andre333 has a 60 trim which has been listed as a stage 1 hybrid turbo on the dyno league table.


Both Hovedan & Dave_T run (or ran) the stage 3, with the spec of 62 trim compressor & 0.8 actuator. However they don't say whether they had the a high flow exhaust turbine or not.

PowerItalia offer 2 hybrid options. They quote option 1 as a standard refurb, option 2 (stage 1) is the same as CR Turbos stage 1 and option 3 (stage 2) is the same as CR Turbos stage 2.

While i've worked out what a stage 3 hybrid is, can someone explain the difference between a stage 1 & a stage 2 hybrid turbo? Who has a stage 2 hybrid and knows what the spec is?!

Great thread but would probably benefit from TurboJ/Flea revising the Enigine Management section as I'm fairly sure that Flea has moved the game on in terms of what can be achieved with the stock ECU.

@ Flea, your thoughts?

My 55 trim superspool is apparently classed as a stage 2 if this helps.
