I'd be interested to know from them why anyone should choose their hybrid turbo option over a competitor. When I reached out to them in regards to going hybrid turbo (pure turbo) vs full turbo package (their $12K+ offering), they informed me that "there have been too many failures of hybrid turbos on the market." They stated that was one of the reasons that they don't carry them. I never put too much stock into dynos because they can be manipulated easily. I am definitely looking forward to what they accomplish on the track with their option, but more importantly why their's is structurally better than another. They also mentioned that drag strip is important benchmark for them.

Maybe one of the reps or David from LAP3 can chime in and explain what makes their product superior? I think it will help all of us that are considering what to do next or how far we want to take our cars. Pricing will help to .

Why can't Lap3 post here? Why make the community join a private FB group??

Call me old school, but I come from a generation that shared info. This only makes the platform open to better products vice having "closed door" conversations.

I can't really tell the difference between the stock unit and the Lap3. Other than the stocker still had the e-WG still attached.

What's the big deal?

The Lap3 came with a lot of stickers, and that's the real reason for the hp gain. They don't show them because that's the secret power mod

Obviously the smaller one is stock. Cheers!

A "hybrid" turbo uses the stock housings and replaces the wheels. Externally looks and fits the same.

Mighty impressive that compressor wheel fitted in the stock housing

Right! Nobody expected the results that we got and to get 600whp on all 3 runs…. It’s insane. The best thing is you get to keep all your parts that is being used with stock turbo.

It's bigger on the inside?

Nice gains, but apparently needs WMI - not my cup of tea..

Why does it need WMI?

 

[gingfreaccs]

Why does it need WMI?

Lowers intake temp, prevents pre-detonation etc.

Water / Methanol Injection - Tech-Knowledge

Water/methanol injection remains a popular upgrade within the high performance automotive market. It's hard to believe that injecting water and anything else in

Ha ha, I'm on my fourth car with WMI. I may know it's benefits.

I'm asking @turboAWD why do these hybrid turbos "need" WMI. What inside info, e.g, IATs, detonation, etc. indicate a cooler charge is necessary?

Yes, in this case it looks like both the compressor and turbine wheels have been replaced with bigger ones. They usually machine out the inside of the housings to fit the bigger wheels.

There are pros and cons to doing this, the obvious pros is that its a direct replacement and you get to re-use all the parts like the downpipe and intake etc.
