Right, so to sum up, if the tuner (doing the mapping) knows his stuff, he will be able to maximise power output from a hybrid turbo while still keeping reliability. And any other tuner will tend to go down the tried and tested route even though it may not utilise the cars full potential.

Will remember this, next time I want to mod my car. I hear the turbo is very small. If ever there is a replacement, knowing who is giving the advice is vital.

cheers.
