I've been out of the loop, what makes this turbo popular?
Currently there are 3 hybrid options on the market: x47, revo s242 and the vt330r
to better undestard the 3 of them you got to do your research about them and not only whp/tq numbers, I mean , price point, bearing quality, the turbo itself, how it connects to the car, etc
I guess it comes down to:
-very similar performance to a x47 hybrid, I mean all hybrids perform very closely to each other within 5hp, is all on the tuner and fuel basically
-you pay a little more compare to a x47 but you get better bearings than the x47, if you have read about the x47 here, you know there have been some cases of bearing failure,
yet I think those where because of overspinning them to 29psi of boost, /who knows
-There is also the the vt330r but I want to see more dyno results (apart from the vendors) to justify the price difference, only seen 1 from virtualronin
