I've read up on the forums about hybrids.

I read T04B was the biggest you could go before it would start hitting the block.

Just wondering if this turbo is the right kind to use before I purchase it.

T04B TURBO CHARGER .96ar [TC-033] - $350.00 : GodSpeed Project, The Art of Performance


If it will work, just lemme know please and thank you.

Why not browse eBay or something similar for a used turbo?

Because for today and tomorrow GSP has a 50% of sale if you order through a certain employee.. $175 for a brand new turbo don't seem too bad to me. Especially since I can sell new parts I don't need easier.

This would work though right?

I think it'll work, but it'd probably be cheaper to find the t04b wheel, compressor housing, and backing plate on ebay and then put it together with your s5/s4 turbo.

thats your plan right?

It better be,in a way,As that Turbo is a T4 based turbo,so even if he gets it he needs a T4 Manifold,wastegate and down pipe fabbed to his exhaust.

$175 for a new turbo is one thing... $175 for a new turbo that wont implode and destroy your **** is another...

op, the turbo you linked to appears to be a V-trim wheel. T04B just refers to the compressor cover size. you can fit several different wheels in a T04B cover. v-trim is slightly bigger than stock, but still pretty small. check this out to see other T04B wheel sizes..

Compressor Wheels & Housings

XBLADE

Ok so I decided to hold off on making a hybrid for the moment and ordered a FMIC from them instead.

But just for future reference when I get to piece a T04B together, will the compressor housing and backing plates match up size wise as long as they are both t04B? (not talking about the 60-1 or 62-1 housings)

And as far as a wheel, an H trim would be a good size?

And thanks for the link by the way. Favorited.

Pick a wheel size based on how much spool-up you're willing to sacrifice for power. I wouldn't say a v-trim is "slightly" larger than stock. The inducer is 11.5mm larger and the exducer is 7mm larger. V-trim and H-trim flow is very similar.

T04B backplates will work with any T04B cover. Those sized for 60-1 or 62-1 wheels should as well.
