Hybrid turbo

[clairehall]

Hey

Whats everyone's views on hybrid turbos?

Iv been told they don't last as long as a ko3s ect and I would be better getting a bigger turbo in general

I have got ko3s Hybrid and i love it and all my passengers love looking at the roof
If you think you would be happy with 260-285bhp (more if you go for Badger5 new Hybrid) and it is a cheaper route than BT, but if your wanting 330bhp+ then BT is the only route for you! You may have heard that a hybrid turbo may not last as long but surely if you go BT then internals, tyres etc will not last as long!

its a case (as it is with all turbos) of balancing what you want vs what it can achieve, within its limits..
Sure you can push for the max from a smaller unit, and achieve the numbers, but there is no free ride in terms of its flat out, vs a larger unit which is'nt but achieving the same "max" power figures, but likely getting there a little later in he rpm range.

Power target and busget the 2 main questions I ask folks who aks me such things (often)
