A video talking about drivability, torque curves, boost RPM, etc would be great and useful for street ability discussions, instead of just focusing max power, which is useful for straight line drag racing.
Can you go into each turbos resistance to antilag? As in, do any of them have superior thermal protection, or other things that would make it more durable when using antilag?
Its more how much you use it, and at what boost. Higher hp is higher stress on stuff when you take off. But I mean thats not scaring anyone off that wasn't already scared off. If you launch the car thats more stress on drivetrain than launching it while moving so I mean. Id say pull it out at meets or important races and call it a day

One point is that Pure doesn't release any info and keeps it close to the chest, and even pays out failures to keep the owners quiet. DAW had a bad rep a few years ago being rebranded chinesium but has proven itself on this platform and has about the same durability compared to Pure. One big point to DAW is that they use a Mar-M turbine wheel. That's a HUGE plus especially with burble tunes as the upper temp limit is higher compared to Inconel.
At what point do you think we’d need a built motor, and would you say the Vargas gc if not planing on a built motor? I feel like 650-700’s is pushing stock block.
Would it be “safer” to have parts capable of big power and only tune for my goal of about 600 whp? So going ds2, flowmax, and port meth would have a lot of potential, but I wouldn’t need it to hit the goal. Could it be a safety percussion for daily drivability?
Headroom doesn't really do much unless you're worried your tune is going to be unstable. Any competent tuner can tune within the safe limits of a given setup. Imo it's better to get a tuner than throw parts at your build to cover up potential issues
@@kern417 appreciate the feedback, saves me $. Guess I should research the capabilities and flaws of all my setup options. Is there any insightful threads on the forums you know of off hand?
Doing the lord's work out here by making this video. Thank you Kern. I was considering a top mount turbo, but I think the DAW R 6 port turbo seems like a good one without having to bump up to a top mount.
does the car get all torque steerish with all of these or does that depend more on the tune? I'd like to replace my turbo soon since I'm past the 100k and I'd rather put in the DAW but, I don't want to have the car trying to hit parked cars or oncoming traffic when I get on it.
Just like anything else it depends on the setup. If you floor it in 1st with dsc off and all season tires it'll fish tail. If you set up you car properly with sticky tires then it'll drive fine. Just need to gauge your expectations and understand more power requires some responsibility with the pedal.
Hello I just installed a pure 800 and a stage two Dortch fuel pump and I’m running MHD tuning and a catless downpipe, I’m wanting to know if I need anything else to make my turbo it’s peak only in pump gas , I only have 91 octane in my area and want to keep it in pump gas . Also, when I tuned it, I didn’t see the option on where you input on the MHD tune to let the ecu know it has hybrid turbo now
Hi Kern amazing video btw much help. I have a Bmw 440 running today Steg 2+ with e50, I run that Setup the entire summer it’s fine but I want more. Looking forward next summer to go for a turbo upgrade goals are around 600+whp which turbo do u suggest? I’m thinking either turbo system steg 2 or DAW 2,5?

Thank you for the video. I came from germany. What moods i need for 550hp? Catless downpipe, hpfp tu and one of these turbos. I want run 98 octane (europe).
Hey there - it's 1 year later since you posted this - is there any updated recommendations on hybrid turbos? Any new options? What is currently the best hybrid turbo option?
I’m trying to run a safe high 500hp-600hp what turbo would you suggest without pushing any component to its limit and what type of fuel pump could I use?
What would happen if you just pulled the stock turbo and put in one of these others without putting a bigger hpfp or adjusting the tune? Would it make more power? Would it be running lean?
In terms of the different Turbos ability to support higher HPs like Vargas vs P800, does which turbo matter if it’s just on pump gas? They all have a limitation on pump, so if I’m planning on staying on pump, should I get the cheaper GC? Because I’ll never be able to maximise p800’s capabilities. Please advise Broski

They're all similar
A discussion on the turbo lag differences between the products should have been mentioned.

do not run any upgraded turbo on any ots map. You need a custom tune
Is the DAW “ultra flow” considered a stage 2 turbo or is the DAW “flow max” a stage 2?
I see more people recommending the ultra flow vs the flow max
Stage 2 turbo isn't really a thing anymore. But ultra flow is larger and supports more power than flowmax.

it is a modified stock turbo to fit a higher flowing wheel. many modern hybrids replicate the same design but they're built with brand new cast units.
