CT9 hybrid turbo

[Dan Barnes]

When I purchased my car it said it had a hybrid turbo on the spec, I've never checked this as I wouldn't know how to tell

How can I find out if its hybrid or standard ct9?

This is my first turbo'd car so don't really know much about them,

Thanks in advance.

Look at the compressor side of the turbo (not the exhaust side, look into the turbo if it have 4 x double blades it's a standard turbo if it has multiple blade it's a hybrid

[Dan Barnes]

Will I be able to look at it easily without taking it off? By removing the filter ?

[TurboTobz]

You can always improvise if not, mirror, phone camera or something if your unsure post a picture up and we'll be able to tell you instantly.

Should be able to have a look with the filter off, power steering pump might be in the way tho

Get a pic and post it up if you can.

Also another quick question, when i plant my foot down it will sit at 0.5 bar until around 4-4500rpm then go to 0.7 bar, it just doesn't feel right

Cheers Dan

yea thats a standard tuby mate.with regards to your last comment thats a bit of boost creep

[TurboTobz]

That's a standard turbo

[Dan Barnes]

What's boost creep pal ? And yeah that's gutting :/ dont know why people have to lie when selling a car

[Dan Barnes]

Cars set to 0.7 bar on hks actuator

[Addymk2]

Or is it set to 0.5 and the boost spikes to 0.7?

[Dan Barnes]

Set to 0.7 I believe it used to be ok only noticed it recently

Standard turbo has too small wastegate so it won't flow enough making your boost go up more than it should and it's called a boost creep
