hi guys just wanted any opions on what you guys think of hybrid turbos, as i am on turbo technics website and their hybrid turbo they are offering for the coupe has a power figure between 220bhp-300bhp, is the correct?

Also if any1 does have one, does this turbo give you that thumping surge?

or would it be better going gt28rs-rsr way

you need a 16vt for thumping surge!

IIRC A hybrid will give that thumping surge, where as something like a GT28RS will give a progressive boost delivery - like the standard turbo but more so.

does anyone know roughly the prices of 28rs or rsr as the hyrid was £699

look around for a hybrid, you can get them a lot cheaper.
Your going over £1000 then the extra parts needed means it will be very pricey.
there are hundreds of threads about the GT series. reagrding cost and supporting mods needed.

get you oe turbo made into a hybrid for as little as £200 to 600 depending on spec needed

I have had a hybrid turbo and now the gt28rsr. The hybrid comes on very strong and in a big surge around 3k then keeps pulling smoothly.
I brought the gt28rsr as people said they come on smooth (better for my clutch), but in my car it comes on like a switch huge surge then power upto 5.5k then another smaller surge and it races to redline.

The hybrid is a very good turbo and the cheapest way to get 250-300 bhp (exhaust etc stays the same)

The gt28rsr is the better turbo but you need 5 stud downpipe (or adapter), new oil feed pipe and restrictor, possible sip (inlet is 3" where as hybrid is 2 1/2 ") and i think its cost around £1000.

i am thinking of an rsr aswell but i dnt thnink i can afford that price as yet and the supporting mods, due to the car going to have some cosmetic surgery done. but i wanted to have a lil more power than i have now. So mayb a hybrid would do for now, is it worth gettin my existing turbo refurbed or try to see if i can buy one?

rathing than buying a turbo from turbo technics, is there a company who could recondition the standard turbo with a 360 bearing, staggered seals and the gtir internals? guessing that would cost less?

Give turbo dynamics a call, very highly recommended, and will build to the specs you are both looking for

try these guys they did my 16vt turbo to my spec and very good service

its ok i got to the site, thanks

should work now and i can 100% garentee there work
