I've currently got a standard pd150 turbo on my fabia and i was thinking about sending it off to be hybridded. I was wondering if the hybrid turbo is safe to run on a generic stage 1 map for a while?

yes but it will be a bit laggy

The lag should be more or less the same really as long as the actuator and stop screw are setup right. I ran my stage 2 Allard hybrid on stock PD130 mapping for about a month and you wouldn't have known it was a hybrid really. Just gave a bit more at the top-end. Obviously mapping can free up some good safe boost that a stock turbo couldn't handle for long.

I'm looking at a fabia which has had a PD150 garrett turbo fitted along with a FMIC and what I presume is a Milltek exhaust system. I forgot to ask if it had been mapped, any ideas whether the standard pd150 turbo should run OK without a remap?

Yeah - runs fine on a PD150 golf doesn't it?

also runs a PD160 Ibiza just dandy. doesn't mean the ecu calibration is the same between the three cars though :p

Kinda what I was getting at.
