Tell me about hybrid turbos...

[p fandango]

the pipeline (oil/water) positions did change slightly when they swopped to ME7, so getting the same pre-ME7 turbo for a pre-ME7 car is a good idea. The pipes can be adjusted so you can use ME7 turbo on a non-ME7 car, but its just a bit more work that you won't need to do if you get the right one to begin with

Hmm... piping... there's another good point.

Care to elaborate? (I know you have pictures )

I managed 320bhp with a 19T and a stroppy ME7.

Oil and water feeds you can bend into shape no problem there not that far out

I know, that blast up the M1 was a hoot

i've got my turbo sorted so afraid i haven't got any pics lol. But they changed the centre chra slightly when they went ME7 so the coolant/oil pipes to the turbo don't line up if you try & use a pre-1999 turbo on your car for example. I am cheating with the coolant pipes on my turbo but thats not for public ears lol

Compatibility with the eternally stroppy ME7 system has crossed my mind but a remap is on the cards for the not-so-distant future. In the meantime, I'll be looking to control boost with MBC and actuator adjustments. I can somehow run 16-18 psi on the 16t that's on there without the ecu spitting it's dummy, although it's been retarding the throttle a bit in 1st and 2nd, probably due to the MAP sensor now being clean and working properly. Basically, I'll be tinkering until it behaves, then waiting for the all important map.

I understand what you mean with "stroppy ME7"

I really like my 16T as it spools so quickly and i do like my power reasonably low down, bugger this 120+ syndrome!!

I have to do something anyway because of my MOT and the smoke on hot idling after 10mins i am even thinking of a refurb on my 16T to include a different billett wheel, not so much bothered about the penny`s so long as i get the feel i want when driving. We will see, i have fingers out for information all over the place so i guess the best will win!

Running mbc on a me7, how??

[M-R-P]

205500+ on my turbo now and I've pinned the glitter in the boost pipes down to the turbo getting on a bit so I'm presuming it's nearly shot.

No idea, it just works lol.

[Rnash2002]

By passing the standard volvo one or putting it inline with it?

between the bcs and actuator.

[M-R-P]

I've bypassed the bcs before but it was a little "wayward" lol.

Didn`t I say the metal glitter in the pipes was from the turbo brgs !!!!!!

I was right about stirbo`s car and his overheating !!!!!

but it seams that my opinions was just brushed under the carpet..........

No, it was because of what you said I got the sniff test done, and it was Rachel's car overheating, not mine.

You said if it was silver it was turbo and gold it was engine... took me a while to check it out

[c70geoff]

That hypothetical turbo looks familiar

[oblark]

Hows this little project panning out ?

[jdavis]

Looking forward to seeing the results of this
Keep up the good work mate
