Ohright. Just thinking of other ways to gain some more power a hybrid seems quite expensive for not a lot of power :/

Tune a k03s right and you will get the same results near enough...might be down a bit on PEAK bhp, but still LOTS of area under the graph and midrange power.

nothing wrong with them turbos and tbh there got to be better than what CR turbos are dishing out at the minute.

Still only last minutes.

Go for the proper borg worner k04-001 from backdraft if going that route.

At end of day - gains = very minimal over a k03s so why spend the money.
