Is this a good turbo or not?
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi all,

As you have probably read from my previous thread about trying to build a turbo engine.

I already bought my head and plenum so far. I still need a manifold, oil pump, fuel reg and other things which I may of forgot to mention.

Now I am looking at this turbo to buy tomorrow.

Is this a good one or not or shall I just stick to the T3 set up?

The spec is:

Hybrid T2/GT15 Turbo
This is what the guy has qouted:
hybrid of two turbos a t2 hot side Renault 5, bespoke core with big pad 360 degree thrust bearing and a gt15 cold side with an Renault Espace compressor housing so you don't need so much pipework will take 18-20 psi and make very good power.

All help is really appreciated.

Cheers

Bobby

i had a hybrid one with the same compressor but a different exhaust side. the one i had was very very good. and made top power with little boost.

was you one a T2 as well? and if so, which manifold did you use?

Any help on this guy, as I am looking to buy it tomorrow?

mine was a modified standard manifold for the t2 adaptor.

Oh ok, was this a hard conversion to do, to make the T2 turbo sit on the metro turbo manifold or shall I go for a mirage manifold, and just hope a cheap one come up some time soon

Oh and cheers for all the help

i never did the mod, i bought it like that from someone on here. and its upto you what you go for.
