hybrid turbo Options

[pikey]

hi all just thought id let everyone know the results and differences in my hybrid turbo from the standard one after the old one broke. the unit is a stage 2 hybrid ct20b unit from turbo dynamics via fensport and rated up to 360bhp. it was mapped on thursday at fensport making 1.1bar bottom and high rev range with 1.2bar in the middle wich gives a nice little kick half way through.

noticable differences are reduced, harder (more aggressive) spool up time. also very very smooth all the way through and pulls very hard. 1 bar is available from around 3200rpm and 1.1 after 3400rpm wich holds all the way through.
my view is if your turbo for whatever reason becomes faulty, rather than buying the standard one, pay a little extra for this stronger uprated one.

as a bolt on mod its great value for money at around £800gbp rather than the standard at around £650, theres minor work to be done as the actuator is different and requires a small t-piece to link up the hoses but thats it. the car will need a remap aswell. all my details are on my profile if anyone is wondering what else im running and rough power figures.

details of the turbos can be found at fensport.co.uk thanks for looking

1.1 is safe on a stock engine and turbo and i make 1.2 mid range with the hybrid, ive got no detonation at all. if you dont want the stock turbo but dont want to jump into the complex aftermarket turbo options its a good little option, obv you no what sort of power you want so really its totally up to you. fith an engine rebuild the turbo has handled up to 360bhp so its strong enuf and safe for arount 300 -320.

at the end of the day no tuning is 100% safe yet we all do it. theres always that small percentage that somthing could fail.
