Could/would these work with the many hybrid systems/kits out there on the market, or do they already use a bigger billet wheel than that one above (or a bigger than stock housing)??

Thanks for posting this. I'm pretty much never on that forum.

Just went on their site. Whoa! Costs $995! Not sure it's worth that high of a cost?

No. The other hybrid turbo systems use their own wheels so it wouldn't really make sense to mix and match them. The core of every hybrid turbo system is a larger compressor (usually Billet) wheel and a resized turbine.

This kit looks to be just the compressor wheel, which is why I would like to see spool data as I think that will be the downside compared to the X37/Cyborg.

Thanks [thumb], that's what I thought.

And yes, if one has to send in their stock turbo anyway (or get a spare and send that if it's their only car), it pays to just go the proven hybrid route, since this option above may actually cost more than the hybrids when all is said and done. [wink]
