ive got a 20vt 1999
ive currently got stage 4 hybrid turbo good for 350 hp boosting at 1.2 bar
proalloy front mount
pro alloy sip
and 3.8bar fpr just wondering what kind of power i have cheers
 
Stage 4 hybrid ?
The max I have seen on a hybrid is stage 3 with 62 trim wheel although I may be wrong :)
With all the mods you say you have,I am very surprised you don't know what it is running considering that running an uprated FPR for instance without correct fueling will most likely destroy your engine in time.
An uprated fuel pump as well as other engine mods require you car to be "mapped" on a rolling road to make sure it won't go BANG
What other mods do you have ?
You need other mods to go with a big turbo and an FMIC to get that much power such as an EBC or uprated EBV,colder plugs,larger downpipe, decat or racecat,uprated air filter,uprated fuel pump to name a few.
Not saying it can't be done but can't see it lasting long without correct mapping.

yeh sorry mean stage 3 typing error.
ive got a sip pipe i have to have a cone filter
what mods do i need with a gtec 2 am new to tuning and dont know much about it at all
 
Gtec 2 chips are OK but if it were me,I would still want the car mapped on a rolling road just for peace of mind bud :)
There is a guy in Bristol who is excellent (http://www.fcperformance.co.uk/).
His name is Leighton and I am sure he will give you all the info you need if you send him an email.
He has mapped my car a few times so you can see the mods I am running.I plan on fitting a 62 trim next year so my car is ready for 350bhp all bar the turbo :D
You will also need a fuel pump mod otherwise you risk running lean which is an engine killer.
There are other things you need but chat to Leighton and he will give you all the info you need
If I can help with anything,just shout out bud (y)

You need to get it mapped to see the sort of power that hybrid can provide. You could be running anywhere from 260 to 300BHP. But without mapping you won't be realising that turbo's potential.
