which Turbo

[phil21turbo]

just been trying to find out what turbo is fitted to my car. Turbo Techs say that going by the serial no its a standard unit, with 360 degree bearing, but i know it dont feel nothing like a standard turbo :!: :!:

It is really lazy and only pulls well 80-100.

Any ideas :?:

well std unit wiv a 360 bearing it would be classed s a hybrid wouldnt it???,,
if it the same turbo as when the car was featured in fastcar, it came from MV turbos in Dunfermline..

 

[phil21turbo]

Your right it is a Hybrid, but its not the same one that MV turbos fitted

The previous owner (Mr Christie) changed it for the current one. The reason Im asking is because it is slow as s**t in my opinion :!: Feels more like a standard car. Should a hybrid be sluggish :?:

Are these built for top, mid and low range power :?:

Gutted

To say the least I miss VUK like mad :cry: Ph1 is the best in my oppinion

My new one is definitely slower than VUK, a completely different drive too :!: But you can't beat the way she looks, I know Im moaning but I still love it.

If you stick VUK on the rollers I think you might get a shock when the reading comes out - She was quick :twisted:

Are you gonna come to French car Day then :?: Come on mate you know you wanna, and I can see VUK again :wink:

the quadra i bought off trev has an md80 hybrid,, and compared to the std turbo on my other quadra is feels a lot slower,,but it has a lot more top end punch,where the std t3 comes in earlier. maybe thats what ure feeling when u compare both cars. take it you got no boost leaks?

re hybrid turbo

as far as i know a hybrid turbo has a larger cossie impeller and the standard turbo has a conical venturi this is machined and opened out its also fitted with a 360 bearing did you know that a 360 bearing is really designed for use in race engines and that a 360 bearing wont last as long as your standard one if my source is correct
