I’m glad you mentioned you didn’t need the HPFP. Many BT setups just need a LPFP and MPI with bigger injectors and that’s plenty. Plus, you get the added benefit of cleaning the intake valves with the MPI which saves you from a $600 walnut blasting job to clean the carbon off of them.
@johndaluga8341 2 жыл бұрын
Who tf is paying 600$ to blast your valves?
@kylew3643 2 жыл бұрын
@@johndaluga8341 walnut blasting requires removal and installation of the intake manifold and other components. Along with the walnut blasting procedure. Most shops will charge $100+ / Hr plus parts. The procedure usually takes 4-7 hours to be completed by most shops. $600 is not out of the question and is pretty standard if you call around.

Good video! I would like to give my opinion and build upon what you said in this video: Is it worth it? Like you mentioned, it’s a case by case scenario on if it’s worth it. I would say, if you already have the accompanying mods, such as plugs, upgraded intake (if stock intake get a high flow filter)(upgraded intake works well too), upgraded intercooler, upgraded boost pipes, upgraded downpipe, upgraded clutch (for 6spd manual guys), upgraded TCU tune, and a software tune, then a hybrid turbo is probably worth it, but if you don’t have any accompanying mods, going from a stock car to a hybrid turbo would be very spendy considering you would absolutely need the other mods to make it reliable, on top of a tune and LPFP upgrade. All in, going from stock to hybrid turbo setup that’s reliable, you’re looking at a $6-8k build. That’s a lot! But if you already have the accompanying mods, you’re looking at $3-4k which isn’t bad. So in my honest opinion, going hybrid from stock isn’t worth it, purely from a price per performance perspective. If already modded, it is.

Absolutely killer setup. I just got a mk7 and have it stage 2 tuned, and am wondering if I go bigger turbo and e85 would the stock engine handle it or would I have to swap out some internal parts? Besides the high and low pressure fuel pump
@HaydenCroix 2 жыл бұрын
For a hybrid turbo to run e85 you would want a low pressure fuel pump and an mpi setup. The stock hpfp should be fine. The engine can handle 430 ft lbs of tq and around 550-600 whp. This is at its limits though. A safe number would be 500 whp and 400 wtq

The car will not run right and could cause more damage. If you need to do this just wait until you are closer to being able to get it tuned and just make sure to stay out of boost while driving until you are tuned for it.
