Someone is selling a K24 Turbo on ebay and the seller possibly thinks it's a hybrid turbo. Is there a way to know if it is a hybrid turbo? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLVO-S60R-V70R-2-5-300PS-TURBO-FORGE-HYBRID-POSSIBLY-FORD-FOCUS-ST-TURBOCHARGER-/252193246659?hash=item3ab7e38dc3:g:YTgAAOSwnipWXMs-

From the photo's, it looks like a stock KKK with a Forge CBV and Forge wastegate actuator. Technically, that does make it a hybrid, though physically, if none of the internals have changed, then it's really just a stock KKK with some bolt ons! I wouldn't pay £800 for it mate. I'd take my £800 and walk into a Dealer and buy a brand new KKK for less!

As previously posted if your need is for a standard replacement then get one from a dealer or try BTN Turbo. If you are looking for a reworked standard turbo then don't think twice about going to Owen Developments either with your existing one or a brand new one. Don.

I wouldn't pay £800 for it can get a much bigger turbo for that price.

You do t really want bigger either. That will only mean more lag.
