Well i am far from convinced that a hybrid turbo is better than a 19T.
How many other people are using a hybrid on a T5?
What is the point of spending many hundreds of pounds on a turbo upgrade/remap if the end result is only a modest increase in bhp/torque? surely the whole point in upgrading is to get the largest power output without the engine going bang!
The older T5s we are told on standard internals can safely hold about 350 bhp (i guess this is flywheel). This is the figure i'm sure most people want after a turbo upgrade and remap, I know i did!
