Default Who is still running Buehn hybrids without problems?...

I read quite a bit on this topic, and I do understand what the general consensus is... I was just wondering if any of you are still running these without any issues. TIA.

Default *raises hand*

*knocks down a whole forest of wood*

6k miles on mine, 24psi taper to 22, not a hint of excess noise of oil loss/consumption...i believe i have the last pair of hybrid turbos Jacob made before disappearing (Feb 07). They were new ko4's when i had them converted.

Andrew C, OCAVANT, and cjk have buehn bombs also ;-)

Default well...

jacob rebuilt one of my KO4s... and the seals blew on that one after 18k miles.

I have a good feeling about these blouch turbos though.. theyre nice and quiet. before the rebuild, they screamed at WOT (see video). if these Blouch brids blow, i will fill my car with dynamite and blow the ****ing thing up.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrPc1OVVQL0">Vid of screaming, blown seal, KO4s</a></li></ul>
