more lag.. err thats not really a benifit is it. umm more power at the top, higher rate of gas flow, more boost...

tbh i dont know anything about turbos, but it isnt that hard to find info on the net if you sped 45mins searching around.

Cause I'm like you, don't know the first thing about them :roll:

I have the MD172 bought it through Norris designs, it is there ND super Hybrid, exactly the same turbo. The difference is the compressor wheel size between the MD172 & MD188 see at bottom of page. (apart from that they are exactly the same spec).

Im runnning 1 bar and there is more lag than the std T28 but definately more torque & it sounds wicked (nice sound the std turbo didn't produce).

I'd say steer clear of the MD188 if ur not running High boost as you will have too much lag and lose drivability.

PS If you want the MD172/Norris designs super hybrid buy it through Norris as its cheaper than buying it direct through Turbo Dynamics which is weird. They require your old tubby or you can pay £150 and keep your old one.
