Do you also understand why the Rtek Stage 1 is better than a FCD? Some people contributing to this thread don't, but I just wanted to make sure that you got it. Also, don't waste your money on an additional injector controller, which is also obsolete.

while it does require a new manifold and wastegate, cost for cost of the turbo itself the hybrids from BNR closely borderline on much better designed ball bearing turbos these days. a GT35R is ~$1k, spools much faster and pushes about 25-30% more air than even the highest quality hybrid.
hybrids are a stepping stone to a better turbo, i just really wasn't too impressed with the lag created by the restrictive hotside.

the smaller hybrids he builds are a bit pricey for what you get considering they are mainly just slapped together with Garrett parts which generally run about $200, $100 for the rebuild kit, wastegate ported which should cost no more than about $100, modify the wastegate arm to be adjustable $45 plus labor to rebuild the turbo.

I will definitely go with the Rtek, although I should probably go with the 1.8 or 2.1 considering my power goals with the hybrid turbo setup. I like the hybrid turbos better because of the price and simplicity of bolting into my existing stock turbo setup. I am thinking of 850cc injectors for both the primaries and secondaries along with an upgraded fuel pump.

comparable to BNR stage 2. there is no set standard for what a "stage" refers to so just using it for comparison, i just don't clip the wheels.
clipping increases top end potential at the cost of spool, these 'imbalanced' turbos(referring to the aspect ratio of cold side to hot side) already suffer from slow spooling.

core depends on the condition of the core being provided. basically the turbine wheel, exhaust housing and CHRA have to be in good reusable condition. i don't care how mangled the cold side compressor parts are though.
S4 has an inferior wastegate port design but it can be upgraded with a larger flapper arm. the S5 turbo is a better design and easy to switch over to but requires the manifold to the block as well as the turbo since they are not directly interchangable.
