Wow, 280hp with the original manifold ? aren't the 30mm average of the pipes to small for 280hp ? If you have to buy a upgrade manifold for the turbo, you can directly go on gt2860 oder 2871 :)

Actuator rated to 13-15psi is what you want, mention it to CRT when you call them and they can sort it out for you.

Carnt complain with the CR turbos hybrid, mine made 276bhp and 292 ft lb last year-and even then it was struggerling to hold boost so i think ive now got a weak actuator as im loosing boost...so need ask CR turbos if they uprated mine at the time... either that or a boost leak.

I know its only 10-20bhp but how come initial rating on ko3s hybrid was 280-300bhp and now its more 260-270? Still, its a great power output from a small free spooling turbo

Benny, does your hybrid make a louder spooling noise compared to your normal ko3s setup?

Try a pressure test mate, Bill uses a good way with a foot pump i think, there supposed to start opening between 13-15psi.

What are you boosting too?
