Well guys just bought my first Fabia vRS and the guy I bought it off said it had a hybrid turbo and a remap on it which I take with a pinch of salt. Now I didnt buy it for the hybrid I just bought it as a cool comfy daily but it is a very quick car so im just wondering did he get one.

How do I go about checking if the turbo on it is a hybrid?

Thanks in advance

If its a hybrid you'll know

It should roar its head of on boost.... Theres no missing it

probs by it going like stink, i think that should be a good indication. On a serious note though, take it to a reputable mapper/garage and let them look at the map on it and what its running

Shark FTW

Cheers guys il be going somewhere closer to home though

Didn't they provide any receipts for the work?

Bascially rule of thumb will be

Standard - 135bhp roughly

Stock but remapped - 170bhp roughly

Say a PD150 turbo and remapped, perhaps 190bhp

Hybrid turbo & mapping - say 210bhp

Any other modifications? I would hope with a hybrid turbo it has a front mounted intercooler as it would be a bit of a waste.

Stick it on the rollers if it were me.

have a look on the pressed plate on the turbo, My hybrid turbo was carrying a TT plate.
