VNT Hybrid Setup - Largest Compressor Wheel Able To Fit?
My first post in a long while..
I'm talking about a VNT17 turbo with the turbine wheel integral with the exhaust manifold....
My understanding is that a hybrid (e.g Allard's VT2) uses the compressor wheel from the VNT20 Garrett turbo, housed in a modified VNT17 compressor housing.
So... would it be possible to fit an even bigger compressor wheel from an even larger VNT turbo while housing this inside the modified VNT17 compressor housing?
Pros and cons?
The normal obvious step up from the hybrid turbos seems to be VNT20 based units, but just wondering how far a hybrid set up can be taken.
Cheers.
