Lets talk hybrids

Mate the exhaust is a restriction yes but nowhere near as much of a restriction as a standard turbocharger.

You could bolt on a bigger turbo in the standard position for less than a hybrid turbo costs to have made. As for needing to keep the standard exhaust why not just pop a flange further on down the new down pipe and then weld that new flange to the cat so it's still removable. Just use 2.5" v band clamps for cheapness and complete interchangeability.

Most sensible advice ive had so far. Been tempted by gt2052 (non vnt) so guess its just gonna be a case of ebay surf and see what i find cheap. Might get lucky and get down pipes etc off my 4x4 buddys if im lucky. Hybrid just seemed so apealing with it being the bolt in option.



Ruan, just because i havnt jumped at the first answer given dosnt mean im not taking advice. Its brilliant when you can build a spec on pocket change. Should try it some time.
