Just a quick question to see if there is anyone else running a hybrid turbo on their A4? Just having mine done and can not for the life of me find anyone else :faint:

Okay I'm guessing the lack of response means no one knows of one?

All I know is mine has some sort of K04 parts, compresser and turbine with a 360* bearing. I'll post up the results when its completed.

Hi mate.

My turbo went at 155,000 miles and i thought i'd go down the hybrid route but in the end i changed my mind because i couldn't find any aftermarket company that made a stronger clutch/flywheel kit for the B7 2.0TDi lumps and there was also no luck finding a bigger intercooler. Theres more to hybriding than just the turbo itself...

Good luck mate and i'm looking forward to seeing how you get on.

Well said Fahim :thumbsup:and good luck with the results Adam. ..oh by the way who has done your turbo?
 
Mine was reconditioned by TurboTechnics I believe. Tried looking for my invoice last night but to no avail. Sure it was them though.
