BR Develpments Hybrid Tubo 2000 miles only. I now have an STI 7 so can not fit this due to warrenty issues. Was
fitted to my MY00 with link and exhaust producing 292 BHP, spool up is very good and mid range torque is amazing. I
wish I could fit this on my car.
Trout has the same turbo on his car and he very kindly posted this on the last add -
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.
Sensible offers please.
