BRD Hybrid Turbo two thousand miles only was on my MY00 I know have an STI 7 so it is no longer required (warranty issues)
With a link an exhaust my car was producing 292 bhp with this turbo torque and drivability was greatly improved and lag was hardly an issue.
sensible offers please.

It is a VF23 hybrid with a special compressor very lightweight - taken from a diesel turbo originally.
It spools up very quickly - I get 0.5bar at 2,500 and 1 bar at 3,100rpm respectively. On my car - it will vary - I get as much boost as an engine with standard internals will take. The turbo can easily produce 1.5bar (I don't use 1.5bar!) - with 1.3bar being the max over 7,000rpm on my car.
If you want higher boost at the top end you will need to fit a 1bar actuator or adjust the in situ actuator to 1bar. Standard crack pressure is 0.8bar from memory on the hybrid.
Overall a very good turbo which on my sti produces 345bhp at 1.3bar! A very good compromise between absolute power and driveability.
