Wow, John, that’s quite a significant increase in power! It’s interesting that the hybrids aren’t squeezing out a whole lot more. Perhaps, they might have more area under the graph? Given it was done at Etuners maybe they could overlay your is38 graph vs hybrid is38 ?

Let us know how you go with the car and give a bit of a review. I’d be interested to hear your impressions of the new turbo with launch control...

Hybrid turbos often have upgraded bearings, shaft and better balance. Less chance of going bang. Which makes me curious, did you balance this turbo?

Razor80 managed 260kw at the wheels with the Snailturbo 480. It all depends on the hybrid being used.
As mentioned, the hybrids are built more robust.

My IS38 is the latest P version so might have slight inprovements over the previous versions.

I have already asked Gordie to overlay all the IS38 Tigs hes done as he has all the files.

He said the Snail come on alot later than stock IS38 over 4000rpm, mine is making 25psi at 3000rpm.

Turbo was brand new from VW so would have been balances by IHI

One would hope they learned their lesson when the early models went bang they've been balancing them before fitting them

From a cost / power ratio, the bang for bucks is the OEM is38....

I think overtime, the last 6 years, the OEM is38s have been incrementally improving. The latest versions hopefully have ironed out some of the earlier balancing issues. I think time will tell whether the non is38 hybrids stand the test of time. In terms of a health report I’m 16 months in and have no issues, fingers crossed that remains the case.

Hi inasnt, I updated the front page as soon as you posted about your is38 upgrade.

Shame about Razor, is he upgrading his car? What’s happening with his parts, that could build another sleeper Tig...
