MONKEYmark Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 hybrids seem a lot of money for not much gain. just my opinion. you could get a small single budget kit for $2500 or if its all to much what about a set of second hand stock turbos?

womble Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I went for the hybrids when mine went (turbo technics) and have to say I'm well happy with them, are you sure it's the turbos though and not valve seals ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprachargedtt Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 im goin to get it confirmed tomorrow but they are pretty sure it is the turbos, will check tho cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKEYmark Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 we know you will have to pay vat and import duty, there are ways around things and other options you can go. it is a turbo kit with manifold. you take a choice what you go for. paul sells a cheap power house racing kit too Turbo Upgrades ** NEW ** Powerhouse Racing street turbo system £2500, + vat cheapest thing would be to buy some standard turbos. then you would have a spare set if you want to go hybrid route what sort of power could you get with hybrids 450-500? have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much is it costing for the Hybrids, I might blow my turbos up as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Steve, mine were also done by Turbo Technics. Give them a call and ask for Gavin, he knows his stuff and's a friendly bloke too. Without digging out the bill I seem to remember mine being aroud 1500 quid which I didn't think was too bad (inc 2yr guarantee). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W2 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Sounds pretty good to me, was that on an exchange basis for the stock turbo's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprachargedtt Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 £1500??? is that each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Superchargedtt: Just had a look and found a credit note they did me for 5% as the units were a little late, it's for £72.50 + vat so working backwards from that (easy to do when you are a bit backwards like me !) they were £1450 + vat and yeah steve that was on an exchange basis for the pair which were stock apart from being shagged (especially no 2). Give a great kick up the arse especially in this cool weather, can't wait to get some cash in to replace my Cadbury Flake esq Intercooler . Turbo Technics 01604 705050.
