guess it depends what power, you want. hybrid is probably easier as you just swap turbo, and use same injectors.

Yeah at the minute I'm swaying towards the hybrid. Just seems to make more sense than a k04. And could work out cheaper, as well as getting a new turbo rather than a possibly tired second hand k04.
Power wise, from the R-Tech graphs I've seen, k04 BWAs make about 360bhp and up to 400lbft with the right bolt-ons, and they got 360bhp and about 370lbft from a Beach Buggy Turbos k03 hybrid, on standard k03 injectors.
Strong case for the hybrid, but then the bread and butter k04 swap is tried and tested. I think either option will make me happy.
Paradox1:
Yeah I definitely agree. I brough the k04 throttle body pipe as an impulse buy so decided to stick with the k04 setup. only need the turbo now but I'm thinking of sending it to BBT for a refurb and maybe hybrid parts but I'm not sure i'll need it tbh. stock to 360+ is a big jump :driver: :driver:
AJP:
If anything, the anti surge wheel is a good idea. The k04 itself should surpass what a bwa/axx can handle anyway, so apart from the anti surge you shouldn't need to upgrade it.
You're still on 200bhp?
Paradox1:
Yeah still on stock 200bhp map. got exhaust, intake fitted, Intercooler on route to me along with boost pipes. I'm also wiring up my meth kit so should be rapid once done!
AJP:
Oh yes, it'll be quite a different beast!!
