Hybrid Turbos
I have an old set of ko3s that just came out of my car and I'm interested in building hybrids from them. I tried searching google for some information, but to no avail. Does anyone know of any information floating around that can help me in my quest? Any basic stuff about their construction would be helpful. Also, what different options do I have with the ko3's and what kind of power can they hold?

RE: Hybrid Turbos
normally, a ko3 hybrid will replace the hotside with a k04 or k16. the compressor wheel is bigger, and therefor can create more boost will still running at safe levels. Thats how bigger turbos work essentially. now the only reason hybrids are cheaper are because you still have the flow charecteristics of a smaller turbo, which isnt designed for high boost. Hybrids are still great turbos, but if you want true performance go ko4 or ko4/k24
