Mid_lifecry_sis Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Guys good evening. So it's most likely to be a simple vacume tube thats split right.. worse case I'm being told that the Turbo needs an overhall/refirb at £500 or £800 for a hybred from Technices ??? or something. Advice please - I'm in for a investagtion this week. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 You can't have 1 hybrid and one stock...does that make your choice easier!?? What you could do is just buy a replacement turbo. IanC on this BBS had two j-specs in perfect working order..think he's still got 'em. Try PM'ing him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid_lifecry_sis Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 I have been told that should this not be minor vacume concern that a refirb will do the job at £500. I imagined that the £800 was for two hybreds? To cheap? Guess buying a complete second hand turbo is costly from the guy you mentioned and poss prone to the ceramic concerns we all have and the worrying lifespan of all second hand stuff etc. Good advise though.

Alex Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Not THAT expensive...cheaper than a rebuild last time I asked - they had 30,000miles on them at most. That hybrid price was for 1, or that guy was cutting you the deal of the decade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOR Racing Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Hybrid prices are around 400->600 (Typically 500) PER turbo. To get one done you may as well get the other so hence £1000. (This is also based on an EXCHANGE basis. i.e. you give your old one up) BUT remember you need someone to exchange the turbos as well and the labour costs would be another £500 So for a full twin hybrid swap you're looking at £1500 (Having said that I did mine as I was just bored with my stock ones!)

womble Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 The second turbo went on mine and Turbo Technics did me a pair of hybrids for around £1500. You can get hold of them on 01604 705050. Ask for Giles he knows his stuff and has done a few Supras now, the increase in performance is really good in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
