Worth remembering the front and rear turbos have different castings......so you may need 2 :)

Thanks for replying guys.
YES, the reason is for a development. I have got hold of two NISSAN T3 turbos and thinking of using the internals and the compressor housing for A HYBRID TURBO to be FURTHER Hybridised with a bigger impellor intake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :2thumbsup :happy:

Just spoke to the turbo specialist today. But he did not have much good news.
The standard VR4 turbo can be hybridised with a bigger impellor intake. But the cost of doing this compared to the power gained is not very good. When I asked him for details, he said power gained would be about 10 percent and cost of work done £495.00!!!!!!!
The other thing he said was possible to do, was to cut and weld the out let side of our turbos to the GTO turbos giving a much better increase in power. But the down side cost of this route in excess of a £1000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So guys looks like we are stuck with the standard turbos other than going with a single turbo conversion.
Or do as someone else on here has said use an adaptor plate to fit a different turbo.

could have told you that, I send some to the guy who does the GTO upgrades and it just aint cost effective to do anything with the current turbo`s. Im thinking about going single turbo now.

It is possible to run 2x TD04 turbos, Valmes has done this recently, with good results for the first few runs.

You can get them fairly cheap from Subaru WRX's and Foresters, as well as Lancer GSR's. I don't know what the difference is between the mitsi and subi types though.
