Originally looking at the Loba LO4xx turbo as Statllers have had fantastic results at 475hp...

I'm not clued up on the Loba turbo but that seems like very high figures if it's only a k04 hybrid. I know someone running it and they were struggling to get above 400 on a fully forged ED30

I think that figure was with WMI and race fuel.
bluo:
Guys is there any point upgrading to a hybrid turbo from a K04? Are the gains worth the outlay?
rich83:
TTE420 (hybrid k04) will give you roughly 420bhp

Yep. Been there, done that. ATP is cheap Chinese crap sold from America. One of their VR6 turbo manifolds warped on me. Had to modify it and then get it skimmed. Waste of time and money.
I'd only stick to top quality brands like Loba imo. Buy cheap, buy twice.

That's what I thought - there's no info on who makes them and getting in contact with them has been useless.
The Loba 4xx and tte is a lot of money so I'm weighing up whether I stick with my K04 or upgrade and whether the gains are significant enough to justify around a £1500 spend - thoughts?
