Hybrids are great for above stock to around 375 RWHP. Anything beyond that, go for T4.

I had great experience with the Knightsport Hybrid for an s5. I made 316 WHP@ 12psi. Can't complain about it if you're on budget to go fast. But it is only a matter of time though when you want to go bigger. It took me about 8 months. But overall, it is reliable, cheap, low maintnace, and FUN! Go for it.

I used to see them on ebay every now and then but not in a long time. Hey Bryan, 375hp isn't bad, do you think that number could be much higher with some type of Auxillary injection?

I built a hybrid for a guy in Vegas that made 403 RWHP. It made over 400 WHP from 6-8K RPM. Great powerband but it was to the max. The S5 will not flow as much as the S4 in certain conditions, but I am sure the 400WHP mark can be achieved with a special down pipe with the S5.

[QUOTE]a special down pipe with the S5.[QUOTE]

I spoke to you today about this on the phone, you should make an S4 and S5 turbo flange to 3.5 inch adapter. If you really think 20-30 HP from this alone over a standard downpipe.

I would love to see his dyno sheet.
