Hi Guys,

My mate is currently working on his car, he is fitting a new CT9 Hybrid.

I just came off the phone to him and sending this email on his behalf.

He has taken off the old turbo and even though it looks exactly the same and should be compatible, it does not seem to fit and he has been trying for a while, all he needs to do is fit the turbo and the manifold and hes done.

Has anybody else had any problems with fitting the SpeedVision Hybrid CT9.

Let me know if you have any information as i need to get back to him ASAP.

Many thanks,

Garry

Well the intake is obviously bigger but that should be the only difference. Unless the compressor housing needs rotated slightly?

update.
i called him...he wasnt gettin the oil line to fit so he dropped the downpipe and started from the filter side first and its ok now....he recommends to put the oil line on first then the downpipe but i guess everyone will have their own method.....he had to rotate the compressor housing a couple degrees he said also....just the circlip had to be removed...

it shouldnt matter i wouldnt have thought? once the turbo is bolted to the manifold the oil line and downpipe cant really sit anywhere else? i have a blitz decat which is bolted to the original brace for the cat. will the fitment of this cause any issues?

is the circlip as much of a bastard to remove as the stock one?

it shouldnt be as much a bastard as the stock one as the stock one has been there years without being removed.

lol..true.....clip is new so wont have any problem...but remember not all will have to move as ony some may be off by a few degrees...

dacer: yea i dint think the downpipe would be in the way but it was easier for him to fit like that so whatever is easier for the person then thats how they do it...

Well here he is lol! As above thanks for the call Sam (and Gaz for the post)! Must admit something wasn't right.....once everything was off I offered the turbo in position and it was angled about 10/15 degrees! Anyways its all on now, but for some reason the rubber hose running to the sump is now too short, by about 1 inch! Gonna get a new one Monday!

rubber hose too short? strange, an inch is quite a bit!?!?

did the oil in pipe fit ok? thats the hard pipe? if that fits the rest should fit fine especially as the core is still a stock item and not a new casting!?

can you elaborate on this mate, take pics or something?

what mani are you using?

thats more than likely the cause for the rubber pipe being an inch to short, as there physically isnt room in the ct9's casting to move the pipe an inch out

SPS race coated mani...

I managed to get hold of some suitable hose today so fitted it that. Im not happy though as after priming etc i have done about 15 miles and it is smoking soooo bad! Only running 0.5 bar and everytime I hit boost then come of the gas I get a massive cloud of smoke out the zaust? I have spoken to Sam (literally)! and he said the pvc valve may need replacing (although was fine on the standard turbo) I don't know what to suggest and im rather pi$$ed off!
