Steve GT Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 the easiest way to tell while its on the car is have a look at the intake hole size on the turbo, if its a hybrid it will be much bigger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve GT Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 lol start with the air filter. find that then follow the pipe the air filters attached too and follow it all the way to the turbo. where the pipe joins the turbo thats where the air intake will be on the turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll do what you said though and ask where it was done etc. lol start with the air filter. find that then follow the pipe the air filters attached too and follow it all the way to the turbo. where the pipe joins the turbo thats where the air intake will be on the turbo thanks, i'll get the hang of things eventually!

Glanza_cl Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 yeah i loved the bigger comp intake, but some dont bother... making it very hard without proof to prove that its actually a hybrid, unless your very up on your compressor blades and can tell the difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites
