Just curious where you guys with the hybrid turbos had them done. Is there a DIY kit and what did it $. I'm testing the waters for upgrading my turbo but haven't decided which direction I want to go. Thanks in advance.

They convert a Series 5 Turbo into a hybrid T-04E and port the wastegate. 3 years ago it cost me $600. Only use the Waco office.

Well I emailed Majestic to see what they could do. Did they give you a choice of wheels or anything? Is there really a downside to a hybrid vs. a straight To4? Cause that sounds like a good price to up the boost. Thanks

I had a hybrid T-04E on my TII. It made 242 RWHP at 9 PSI and ran a 13.06 in the 1/4 @ 10PSI. I daily drove it at 7 PSI and it was a nice fast spooling turbo. There is virtually zero lag.
It is still working to this day. Mazdadrifter had it in his TII and just sold it to Phinsup.
I am not sure if Majestic will offer a choice of wheels. I suggest you call them and talk to them. They are really cool there and love to talk to you and make sure you get what you want.
I will PM you 2 names to have them look up in their records. If you want to copy my setup or my friends. We both loved that turbo.

??? i'm confused... the flange on the t04 catridge is the same as the stock s5tii's turbo flange?
