Ko3, Ko3s and the hybrid..

[Pete H]

Soz may have been asked before, but the Ko3 and Ko3s are they the same housings front and rear? With diff internals to make them produce more power?

Just i was looking on the turbo tecnics site and it says they produce a Ko3 hybrid that'll make 250bhp ish, then im sure i read on here that tubro dynamics do a hybrid of the Ko3s that'll produce 280bhp ish.

Just wanted to know if i could have my Ko3 hybrid'd to the 280bhp ish set up or i have to go buy a ko3s and have that done, as i really cant be bothered going the Ko4 route with all the mucking about you have to do.

cheers, pete

here's an interesting link http://www.audiforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=118538 read the first paragraph.

also found a company called cr turbos do a nice hybrid on the seat forums.

i have heard 2 bad reports of cr tubors having problems. think there both on scn somewhere.
i know its only 2 from hundreds they have done but it was enough to put me off.
 i would head to turbo dynamics if your after a hybrid.

maybe it was myself  that u read about that had a bad experience from cr turbos but it has all been resolved now that would of been on scn forum! they do know what they are doing and offer good prices. my hybrid gt2x is producing 300bhp 330 ft/lb torque and the turbo pulls nice and strong! the problem was to do with the actuator design and also the gap between the exhaust wheel and the housing...
