Was just thinking. Is it possible to take the wheel, bearings, housing off a FD TWIN the bigger turbo and graphing it onto a S5 TII turbo?

just a wild thought.

anything is possible, but you have to ask yourself why. Hybrid turbos, really aren't all that great no matter what they are. I'd say you are better going with a T4 than an upgraded compressor.

i'm not using the twin setup. just the one big turbo on the FD twin.

The reason i ask this is because i have access to a cheap FD twin like real cheap.

have you ever held a 3rd gen turbo by itself? they are very small and it might be difficult to fab that intake and exhaust.
