K04 - generally the OEM RS4 K04 turbos, yes?
RS6 - generally the OEM RS6 turbos…but are these not a type of K04?
K04/RS6 hybrid - ???
Are ‘hybrids’ always going to be K04/RS6 hybrids?
Just trying to understand the lingo better in B5 land while sifting through quarter mile times and stuff.
thanks
Hybrids generally have the standard K04 exhaust wheel/housing with a larger compressor wheel. RS6/K16/K24/etc hybrids are all different compressor wheels and possibly housings from what I know. RS6 turbos are much more potent from what I’ve seen because the overall turbo is larger. The hybrids usually make a small bump over PJK04s.
I bet Josh could help shed some more light since he’s tuned so damn many ha
cool thanks Clint. Quick too.
nah you pretty much nailed it… don’t forget about the hybrid rs6 based turbos too.
also the k03/k04 hybrids as well… k04 comp wheel on a ko3, said to be good for 20-30 whp.
So many turbo options for this platform now, almost too hard to choose.
And yes, RS6’s are a K04-type turbo (part numbers K04 28/29 IIRC)
Someone is either about to or did get sakimanoed
I think the audirevolution quartermile database is getting sakimanoed currently
lol actually neither
the B5 stuff is pretty foreign to me when you get into the intricacies of the turbo nomenclature, so I needed some help understanding it better. A few guys posted in this threa dthat they wanted a 1/4 mile list that was up to date…

…so I started having a look into it. The s4biturbo list was a great starting point but doesn’t appear to have been updated in 2-3 years. Although sadly, not much has happened in that period for the B5, quarter mile time wise. Hopefully the new database will get some attention back on this great performance test.
Ideally the database will be an all encompassing HTML based list that is searchable by just about any column. It will allow you to narrow things right down to whatever you want to search. i.e. want to see all tip transmission 2.7T cars on 93…boom, there’s your list. Want to see all avants? easy.
Storm Trooper - what turbos were these then…K04/RS6 hybrids?

p.s. that stood as the fastest S4/RS4 pump gas time for a number of years. This B7 Rs4 in England on 93 just nipped you last month (11.42 @ 125.1). http://audirevolution.net/forum/index.php?topic=267.msg14567#msg14567
Those where oem ko4s with oem rs6 comp wheels. Ported, extrude honed housings, ported wastegate ports and ceramic coated. All done by the now defunct innovative turbo. They lasted me a long time, sold them in 06/07 and guy is still running them hard. Wish they were still in biz.
BTW, those are the same turbos i made a hair over 500 wtq on, started spraying up to a 150 shot on, eventually ran a 10.7 s 138 on and shredded 1st gear off the input shaft on. Sometimes I wish I had never changed.
wow…incredible
you should dig up that 10.7 timeslip so I can add you to the list.
That was battle of the imports 2006, I got DQ’ed for that and then tried to repeat it the next day and broke the car. Hardly a consistent time for the car, it was a low to mid 11sec car.
With c16 and a big shot the car was a straight up weapon, but unreliable. That is what actually led me on the bt quest.
Fwiw there were a lot of witnesses to it who have posted up over the years that were there.
IIRC They are now CompTurbo
