Question Upgrade Turbo

Hi peeps,

Just researching into upgrading the turbo/uprating the turbo.

I spoke to red dot racing and the guy mentioned he has a hybrid turbo which is his genuine one in the car but redone with a ball bearing to give it more stability so it can run higher boost accompanied with an uprated intercooler.

Anyone got any ideas on this? He also mentioned it's in the price range of £400-450.

Affordable to say the least if you want reliability...

I want to be able to run 200bhp safely, I've heard people have done used the "Hybrid vnt17/20 Garrett" which will boost over 220bhp.

Please people, instead of selling the car and getting a 350z/300zx i want to be able to modify this after the warranty runs out in may.

cheers

Re: Upgrade Turbo

sounds interesting. If you did it and got good results and reliability, you'd probably have a big following
