gorganl2000 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 a friend used one locally/barbados and it was very good performance wise with supporitng mods...this was a while back though and i dont recall which generation it was...it was eventually sold somewhere along the line it smoked, but we used a spare ct9 rebuild kit to sort it out and never had any problems afterwards.

Stu Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 The turbo itself seems to be made reasonably well and is performing ok so far for a mates car that I fitted it to (about a year ago). If your using a factory exhaust manifold then the SV CT9 will be fine, but with an aftermarket manifold and drop pipe (I fitted units that I made) and the subsequent increase in flow it become quickly apparent that the "enlarged" wastegate (about 1.5mm bigger) is actually still miles too small. I end up porting one out considerably and flowing the entry inside the housing to try and get on top of boost spike issues. With the wastegate wired 100% open (ie bypassing as much exhaust gas as possible) it would still build boost and hit factory cut. When contacted about it SV said that we should run an electronic boost controller (which of course would do nothing about allowing extra exhaust gas to get past the exhaust wheel). They then went onto say that the setup was "extreme" and that we should fit some sort of restriction into the downpipe... which is counter intuitive to fitting a hybrid turbo in the first place haha. http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/95446-thoughts-on-speedvision-hybrid-ct9/#entry1129319 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gorganl2000 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Heard those are a bit hard to find here would have to order one in and just to give you more data to read and enlighten or confuse you http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/102072-tdtfo-numbers-and-digits-explanation/?hl=tf035#entry1190156 http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-SUBARU-FORESTER-SG5-EJ20-TURBO-OEM-TF035HM-14412AA420-/222358028078?hash=item33c5923f2e:g:DVYAAOSw44BYYZ~R&vxp=mtr just did a very quick search and they seem to sell reasonable on ebay...you may be able to source it cheaper if you decide you want one and shop around properly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
