Ok guys n gals since Im not a TT owner then I dont have a lot of experience of looking at turbos.

If I told you I had a Turbo techics hybrid turbo(Well a pair for a 300) how would you know thats wot they were??

Size/shape/ markings on castings etc.???

Do they need "special" bits of manifold?? Or do they replace stock turbos??

Do they look the same/different to stock ones. How can you tell a stock one???

 

Help!:confused1:

:stupid:

Pete if thay are hybrids they will look the same as the original zed tubs

the only way to find out is with paper work with the car or the Model/SN Tag on the tub its self

theres a poss something scribed in to the tub its self with Data info conserning the hybrid parts used

thanks Mark thats just the kind of info I need. They are just"in a box" apparently So I will look for little tags etc or ask if he has any paperwork.

any news on the other we talked about ?

Pete, Turbo Technics (and other companies) offer various different "stages" of rebuilds on their turbos.

 

Technically the Stock Turbochargers are Hybrids (T2 and T25), so even a completely stock Rebuild by Turbo Technics could be referred to as a Turbo Technics Hybrid.

 

Typically the options are :

 

- Stock

- Stock with 360 bearings

- Larger Inner compressor and/or turbine openings. 360 bearings Stock Housings.

- Larger Inner compressor and/or turbine impellor and openings. 360 bearings Stock Housings.

- Larger compressor or Turbine Housing (often from a T28 or similar) and impellers. 360 Bearings. (Different housing markings from stock would give this one away)

 

Most of these changes (other than a housing change) are internal. Blueprinting of parts, Flowing ports, grinding inner housing and fitting larger impellor.

Exterior markings tend to be standard, unless Turbo Technics tag on their own Label. (I'm more familiar with Turbo Dynamics than Turbo Technics)

 

You could possibly measure the compressor and turbine impellor/openings and compare to stock or look for different impellor wheel designs. Some are twin bladed others single..etc
