Is swapping over to this

going to give performance gains? i'm assuming it's a straight fit then you would need to tune???

thanks people

No dont bother.

Not much of a power upgrade or doesn't really change anything?

How are they able to call it a hybrid and say

"push the limits of the k04 ... more powerful than anything in standard housing"
"more power, less lag, direct fit"

if it's not worth the upgrade... surely it's got to bump performance up?

 

[Tom93]

I have one. Exactly that one. Plus a forged refreshed motor and Bill at badger5 told me its **** when i was getting my map done. I have a comparison Bill shown me, overlaying my graph with a standard K04 and the standard one was better.

Here it is



Earlier spool, more peak hp and more earlier torque.

and that, sir, is the answer i was looking for!

how the heck can they be making those claims .... hmmmm.

Thanks... another option to strike off the list.

Ive even told them about it. They claim that it's because they only sell the CHRA they have no control over the housings used and that the clearance between the turbine/compressor to its relevant housing is the reason for poor performance....

I think theyre full of **** personally.

No worries sir, hopefully my wasted 300 quid will save everyone else...

if it's made to fit the stock housing i don't see why clearance should be an issue

bogus city! lol
