Yah. That's just a wee bit more than I can take on at the moment. I'm definitely looking for a simple bolt-on upgrade.

Try BNR supercars they did my T-18 for $710 im sure some one on here has there ##

Does cheapturbo.com do it?

Cheapturbo.com DID reply quickly to my email, but they said that they cannot get the parts to rebuild the stock Hitachi turbo.

What exactly did they do for $710? What other mods do you have? Is a T-18 the stock turbo?

ht-18 is the stock turbo.

How about swapping an s5 turbo/manifold setup into your s4? I'm not sure what the gains would be but it would be cheap.

jims5543 had them upgrad a stock s5 turbo to a t04e, and was running 13.08 on 9lbs of boost with 720cc secondaries and a s-afc. Sounds like they did a good job to me.



also, with either upgrade your going to need more fuel. an upgrade is very capable of pushing as much air as a comperable full t04, but probably wouldn't spool as fast. there's a jillion variables



im installing the hybrid now, so i'll be able to tell you what i think of it. If it doesn't work out, I'd say I could get into a t04 w/ manifold, wastegate, oil lines, and an adapter to feed the exhasut to my current downpipe for less than 1G. Depends on how thorough you are.

I'm one of those people who had a Majestic rebuild/upgrade that went bad after 9 months too...it sucks, and I wouldn't recommend them to anybody.
