kevin smith Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 A new member is looking at buying supra, and the advert says it is a hybrid turbo. Can someone tell me what is a hybrid turbo. Many thanks Kevin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Welcome. It's a turbo that is the same size as a standard one, but has been modified for better airflow characteristics so in theory should make more power, or higher boost sooner in the rev range. The trade-off is they're rarely anywhere near as reliable as standard ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy.r Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Just stock turbos (usually jspecs) with uprated internals allowing them to run at a higher boost level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATT RR Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 would I be right in saying Hybrids would usually be steal blades as appose to ceramic which you find on jap imports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 would I be right in saying Hybrids would usually be steal blades as appose to ceramic which you find on jap imports? THIS, mine is hybrid because its the J spec turbo that uses ceramic blades and changed with steel internals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter what they're made from, just that they're different to stock inside but not out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
