Hey guys,
I own an 03 plate Seat Ibiza TDI Sport with a clutch upgrade by you, 160 intake and panel air filter and a map all by yoursleves, it is currently running around 180 bhp and 300 torque. I am on the cusp of buying a VT-3 Hybrid Turbo, i was just wondering if it is possible to fit the turbo and have you map it so that i can run it (obviously no where near its potential) without a fmic, although i have adapted the bumper to allow more air to the smic. Also do i need a downpipe and flowing exhaust just to run it? i am looking to get a custom exhaust made up to help it...and also plan to buy a front mount but just wondered if i could run the turbo and what power would be sensible to run through it with no fmic? or should i save and wait lol
Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris,
That shouldn't be a problem.
We could provide you with a map to suit that turbo with no other modifications to run around with untill you get the FMIC, exhaust etc.

What sort of figures would be easy onthe turbo with a free flowing exhaust, 160 air intake and clutch with the hybrid??
Cheers
You ideally want the fmic and exhaust before mapping the hybrid to it's full potential

I personally wouldn't recommend running it at anything higher than you would a standard turbo untill a FMIC is fitted.
Intake temperatures would become a real issue!

would you suggest that i dont put it on until i have the fmic and exhaust??
yeh the only reason i would put it on was to sell my old turbo to free up cash, but i would only want you to map it so it was safe for the hybrid

Either way would be fine chris,
You could stick the hybrid on and have the map tweaked, but im just saying dont expect loads more power untill the other mods are performed.

Hi Chris,
That would be fine.
You wouldn't damage anything fitting it before your FMIC and exhaust, but either way is fine.

Main thing will be the exhaust to keep EGTs down.

oh right so ill need a bigger downpipe/decat and then a catback system yeh?....the one your selling wouldnt fit would it mate??
Why would it not fit? Is the turbo a hybrid?

erm just thought that cos mines an ibiza it won't? but i guess cos im putting on a 150 hybrid turbo then it would???
Did you buy Karls turbo? If so then yes miltek downpipe will fit.

Yeh i bought his old turbo? so i guess it would fit lol...erm depends how long you could keep hold of it for mate?
as im buying the turbo my funds are streched being a student and all lol...but would be very interested in it mate
The downpipe is the same for the 90/110/130/150/hybrid

Yes!!!
Braders you might know...if i buy Karls turbo do i need to buy a pipe for the turbo outlet? cos the piping is different on the ibiza turbo's than a leon? or will it just fit?
Your original pipe should be fine. If you need help, I can make it fit ;)
