Impressions for those running K04 Hybrids
I've SFTA, searched 139 different threads, but would still like to hear up-to-date impressions for those running K04 hybrids. In particular, how much measurable improvement did you pick up (i.e. Dyno, 1/4 track, FATS, etc)? I'm about ready to pull the trigger on these and get custom tuned, but would like to hear more feedback on this type of setup.
Thanks.
Thanks.

If i had to do it again i would have gone straight k04's or rs6's...
but i was stuck in a bad spot and a fellow AWer had the brids on the shelf and let me borrow them until i had mine rebuilt to return to him.
25-40 wheel HP over PJ's with a good tune is what i have heard and to be honest thats not worth the money to me.

im only going that route because
1) brids will end up costing about the same or less than new k04's (i bought a blown set)
2) I would need new downpipes
if I was starting from scratch, it seems that straight rs6 is the way to go

Re: wasting your money, the turbine side is tiny putting a larger comp wheel is a waste
It can actually back fire and perform worse then a pjk04 setup... theres no real data out there so save your money and move on to another kit or get real RS6SSS.

That's good info. What PSI where you running?
Talking with Brian@Avalon about making the switch to hybrids. I'm currently running about 21 PSI and looking to run 25 with the hybrids. After getting a custom tune, I would hope that 40-50 AWHP would be achievable, no?

For sure. I was spiking to around 23/24psi with the 'brids.
Remember, at our altitude, they're spinning a lot faster to sustain that PSI than they would be at sea-level. I destroyed a pair of K04's at 22psi up here. So I was being conservative.
And remember, boost isn't everything. With the hybrids, you can flat out get more airflow, so you don't need as much boost to get good timing as you would with regular K04's.
Those hybrids treated me very well, and were still quiet and powerful when I sold that car last summer.
