From what i know it is a hybird (ct9 hybird) its the internals that are diff not the outer case which says ct9
but like i said thats from what i understand

 

[Somhairle]

Standard CT-9a compared to Gspec...


The ebay one does look to have had work done.

It has different inlet blades.....

 

[Dave.]

he probably doesnt understand the terminology behind "hybrid" maybe his has better internals, rather than a mismatche turbine and compressor housing?

The original Kit1 turbos offered up by Syawal as hybrids were basically CT9s with internal work and a refurb.

That looks like it's had the intake blades changed to something more effective.

 

[dac69er]

the compressor from the IHI turbos used in the fiat uno turbos fit nicely in the ct9 housing with no work, they look similar to that.
was gonna make a hybrid but its my mates compressor wheel so cant really nick it

 

[Killamats]

deffo not a stock ct9, but thats not a hybrid.

 

[hkspower]

the front blades are not std thay are diferent from the ct9..

 

[speedvision]

the conpresor blades will give this away as a hybrid turbo
so in my opinion it is one but maybe not like the gspec

more commonly known as "Hiflows" like the one in the ebay link.. same as ur g-specs lads.. a hybrid MUST have different housings for it to be a hybrid

upgraded internals just make a turbo HIFLOW .. not hybrid

New to me, thought a hybrid was just two different turbochargers together, housing, wheels, or otherwise.

That what I thought too - the term 'hybrid' sorta means this, no?

yeah as the word hybrid suggests its something that evolves from more than one item.. creating something new.. check with turbo places.. a turbo which has internals only done is a hiflow.. a hybrid MUST have one different housing to be a hybrid..

yep, aus & nz guys always separated those two types. while we were misscalling hiflow turbos as hybrids.
I remember a long topic about this one or two years ago.
JD/Syawal's kit 1 was a hiflow. Kit 2 was an hybrid.
Kitaro Gspecs is still an hiflow (even if it has some major change on the inlet)
