tooquicktostop Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Dean, out of interest, which Turbo option did you got for with CR? Hybrids or just the standard rebuild? I'm looking at getting mine refurbed by them. (Sorry for the Hijack!) I went for the all steel internals not hybrid, I will go single at some point so did not want to spend the additional funds, they have come back looking like brand new turbos, very happy with them and they will run at 1.3bar no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What price I'd it for a refurb, looking good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellybean Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 CT turbos versus turbo technics, any reason you went for them? I am sure mine will need refurb at some stage :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Ahh ok cool, I feel better now then, I thought I had been duped! This is shaping up to be a really nice car buddy Are you going to upgrade the cams to make the most of the syvecs and the hybrid turbo's ?

I am sure mine will need refurb at some stage :-) They seem to have a good reputation, Dave spoke to them for some time and they were extremely helpful and knowledgeable, price was OK and they picked up and delivered, they did a great job looks wise and they have a warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDan24 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Whats the lifespan of these Hybrids if actually run at normal BPU levels 1.2bar rather than pushing them to +1.4bar? Has anyone tried treating them as normal tubbies? I imagine they'd last a while at stock boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Engine will be going back in next week, just got to sort the engine bay out and finish off the turbo pipes (sprayed in silver), took some shots today at the workshop, wanted to show the attention to detail Dave is putting in on this, little things like painting the fuel rail and alternator for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircon I think, did not get a billet for this but you can get them, I was not planning on doing any billet pulleys at first, its becoming a very expensive project !
