Ok I'm the one with the Hybrid. You say my results wern't great but I gained 22Bhp with a standard map on my car and the Hybrid. Now with the map sorted I still have the extra 22bhp (running 1.1bar) but loads more torque and all at lower revs( so no having to thrash the engine to get the best) I can see the results and feel the results. I'm also safe in the knowledge that I have a Turbo that will out live my engine. My car is mapped for everyday driving with a bit of fun when required. Yes I could have it mapped to run a stupid amount of boost and maybe get 50-60bhp more but at what cost? A new engine every 10k?

As Dan states a Hybrid from TT is built to last and out perform any other Turbo of similar type.

With effect to this does a 18T or 19T need a dump valve?

Answer: YES

Does my Hybrid?

Answer: NO

Why?

Answer: Because it's built stronger, better and made to last!

Regards

Iain
