Browner Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hi guys, I recently bought a half finished Starlet build and got tons of parts with the buy. In one of the boxes I found this brand new or freshly built CT9 Hybrid. It is absolutely spotless no wastegate cracks or shaft play etc etc. Does anyone have any idea what hybrid it is and what they think it's worth? Its not a Speedvision hybrid because their turbos are stamped on the housing. Anyone any ideas? Thanks in advance, Browner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Tongs the best. And in that condition worth a small fortune. Nice find matey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Looks like a gen1 Tongs hybrid matey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Browner Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Any more info on them lads? Roughly what money do you think it's worth? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Id say they are easily the best of the CT9 hybrids. Will make decent power 200-220 at 1-1.2 bar. So much better than standard CT9. In that condition worth anywhere between 350-500 depending on what someone is willing to pay. Ill take if off your hands for 100 though ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Gt spec B tongs hybrid.This is the one u have to trim a bit of the gasket or the wastegate penny hits it. Caused me a bit of agro a few years back. Great little turbo tho! I think i paid around 400 for one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Looks a real minter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I wouldnt say they where the best Hiflow turbo out Toytuning and fensport hiflow turbos are one of the best! The tongs hiflow only has a larger compressor wheel everything elss is just the same as a stock ct9 With the toytuning and fensport ct9's you get a larger compressor wheel cutback exhaust turbin wheel 360degree thrust bearing etc But even so its a good find and still worth around the £350 mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Browner Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 It is lads its in perfect condition was a handy find. Got some lovely parts with the car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky@Race-Tech Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 They certainly aren't the best, but they are ok if not pushed too hard. We have repaired a lot over the years. We are bringing out 2 new hybrids. These should perform the best and be reliable. This will be backed up with a 12 month no quibble warranty if fitted and setup by us.

MARC MOSS Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Same turbo as I ran on my mk1 for years mate.. That's the whole reason I didn't fit that td04 I sold you , at 1.0-1.1bar it was really quick off of the mark ... It. Spooled up so quickly as well. Offer it to trisk that gt needs another one of them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Ignore what everyone is saying Browner... These are terrible and I think you should send this to me for absolutely free ;)Can't be worth more than a Pound.. Hahaha!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Maybe not the best hybrid on the market but i had an early G spec tongs hybrid, GT spec hubrid and then the GT spec B and this one was night and day compared to the other 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Browner Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 @ Marc Moss tell trisk to make me an offer it will be for sale as I have no use for it I am already running a TD06 Seen a select few in used condition make big money but never once saw one brand new so must be very rare Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a bad feeling they are going to be £5-600+ though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletburkie Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 its the same hybrid in my car browner! youl get 350 euros easily and most likly more for that turbo its brand new! and thanks for the text back lol some man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Tongs are pretty decent hybrids to be fair! we've rebuilt one at work before but that was down to the cars engine having issues. Looks in good condition though! Any idea who rebuilt it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I think its brand spank mate. Either that or the arse end is. Exhuast would have rust. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Not necessarily mate, after we do the rebuilds at work we coat the turbine housing and centre housing in wd40 and it prevents rust Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Browner Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 This turbo is now for sale in the for sale section for those who are interested Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan dempster Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Anybody know of any hybrid ct9's going? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Pretty sure Ross on here has a newly rebuilt Speedvision ct9 which has been rebuilt by me with genuine internals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
