hybrid tdo4 from sacha,
and the engine is forged.
i'm just dissappointed because i have spent so much money, and so much time, and so much research.
it's just a bit deflating

if the turbo makes 256@1.2bar thats indentical to waht spuddy made ona stock td04@1.35bar
that plus another tuner prepared to run the higher boost levels on his dyno and your sorted.
plenty of people get worried about the engine being a 1.3 and putting out 250hp+ ¬!
take it to another tuner, or tell this guy you want to see what it ill make @1.5bar. make sure its not detn and keep the timing modest, you should be ok, its a good first figure(first real figure)

should make another topic what people are making with the tdo4 turbo's maybe get people to post the graphs up. and what boost there running. i know on mine at high boost 1.4/1.5bar i do get turbo surge. nothing to serious. but if i was running 1 of wepr's im sure it would cure it. ive raced plenty of cars on private road on low boost (1.2bar) and beaten them easily. so i woudnt be to dissapointed with the figure u got

Ricky you have to remember that IHI turbos are one of the most reliable at higher pressures. The TD04 seems very well matched for unlocking power higher up in the range, I'm supprised you thought you could vastly improve upon it even with a hybrid?
Post up a graph of your results, this game isn't just about peak power, it's about where that power comes available, where the torque lies, how that power is sustained, the area under the entire curve.
It actually makes my blood BOIL when people throw around a single peak figure. From my perspective anyway, knowing how irrelevant that figure actually is in the real world performance.
Regardless of all of this, how can anyone possibly be dissapointed with 256BHP from a 1.3litre engine?
Perhaps you own the wrong car...

not A bad result at all buddy, seems strange why it was out of puff at only 1.2 bar, what power it make at 1 bar?, what intercooler have you got on it?
