Hi all.

Im after a Hybrid turbo, good for 240bhp.

Tryed the search, but i cant find anything.

I wanted to know what the model turbo I need for my fabia (so i can order a phat one from ebay.de).

It a VA or VB or summin?

Any help

Dave

Turbo Dynamics Stage 2, IIRC it was MD376 or the equivalent but havent got the papers handy soz

Fair play John, Forgot about Formula One.

MD376 is looking good. Is that the actual turbo model, or is that just F1's nick name?

And does anyone know what car I may find one on?

Help so far has been great.

Dave

MD376 is the Turbodynamics Stage 2 Hybrid for the Fabia vRS (amongst others). Great turbo

Based on the GT1749?

Whats the GT1752 like then?

And whats the difference between the GT1749, GT1749VA and the GT1749VB ?

Can get a VB for £750 new, with manifold. Good? good for 240bhp?

Dave

The VB is used in the stage 2 hybrid. They fit a larger compressor wheel so its kind of a GT1756 hybrid or something like that.

A standard VB is good for around 180/190bhp

GT1749,VA,VB all have different size compressors/turbines. VB being the largest. Their is also a VC which is fitted to the PD170 but believe it doesnt fit the 8v head.

The VB and the VA can both be used for stage 2 turbo dynamics turbos.

Mine was a VA that was rebuilt to stage 2 and it could handle well into the 240's .... 248bhp IIRC but was turned down slightly to create less smog.

I ran at 230bhp till i stripped the car.

Very good turbos.

id look at picking up a VA as they are more common than the VB

So any GT1749VA will do for a Hybrid part ex?

Does anyone know if I can part ex more than one turbo, because I can get two for £180 (is that good?).

Dave

I will buy one off you for 150 mate ?? that will get your budget down ??:)

Sounds like a plan.

I will pm you when ive phisicly got the turbos (as the guy who said he can get them, sometimes lies. but sometimes pulls through).

Dave

The people to ask would be a Turbo Dynamics.

The VC is also up the other way with the turbo mounted above the manifold (I happen to have one of those spare).

Can get a VB for £750 new, with manifold.

To be fair you ain't going to get one without the manifold...lol

When are you likely to find out met i need to Know ASAP

my mobile is 07806564001 Really appreciate you getting back to me

Or anyone else got one they want to sell ???:)
