K16 Hybrids...

Hi all,

Is there anyone here who runs (or knows of anyone else who does) K16 Hybrids, with the newer Mitsubishi 16G compressor wheels?

I'd like to get some impressions on how they perform.

I'm considering a pair of K16/24's or a pair of K16/16G's. I'm leaning more towards the 16G's because they are newer in design, can flow more and are rated at ~35lb/min.

Anyone?

Yeh, the ZC stuff is good from what I hear, but way out of my budget.

For USD$2k, I can get a pair of rebuilt K16/16G's, K16/S60's or K16/24's. That's with the stock K16 compressor housing machined for the larger compressor.

Just need to make a decision which route to take.

I see you have a Protomotive ECU, just call Todd Knighton and ask him. He is one of the most respected Porsche turbo tuners in the USA. He can also match your ECU to your new turbo setup.
