How much higher are the temperatures with the hybrid versus IS38?
If you are looking for good spool then clipping the turbine wheel is not something you want to do.

I'm not sure. Just every is38 hybrid that I've seen has this side affect. Basically you are asking the is20 exhaust turbine to spool an is38 compressor. It will spool quicker, but creates more heat in the process of doing so. I think someone who has more experience with the hybrids needs to fully weigh in on what the logs look like. Probably one of the pro tuners.
Are you talking about EGT rising?
On the charge air side the temperature is primarily driven by the operating pressure and to lesser degree the compressor efficiency. Unless the compressor housing has much less mass with the hybrid, in which case it will heat faster and lead to a quicker rise in IAT versus an IS38, the charge air temperature should be the same for like operating conditions.

Hey everyone. I run an Is20 hybrid (Gpop, not clipped) and have done it with nothing but the intent of going fast as shit.
So far it works really well
I chose this over a is38 because i wanted that rampant is20 spool. So far its been great the car hauls ass.
I was with a jb4 but have sinced moved to COBB and tuned by stratified. It's incredibly quick.
idk how much heat it produces but i have a turbo blanket on it and so far so good. The engine certainly gets hot but again I'm racing with it. For around the town its amazing. I'm fully on board with more people going this route. If you are gonna go big turbo go for it but the is20hybrid puts you right in the mix with good river mods. I have little difficulty in passing sub 350HP cars. That includes golf Rs, is38 GTIs n what not.
HOWEVER
Past 85-90mph its still an is20 so it will taper quicker than a is38 or aftermarket. I know this from driving both. If your game is to run the 95mph+ group then you will be dissapointed but for everyone esle who is sane. Its fantastic. Spool rate is dumb fast.
Cheers

I finally boxed up my is20 to send out to GPOP on Friday. I shot them an email before it was picked up just to find out they no longer have to parts to do the rebuilds or hybrids

What? No, say it ain't so! I was a month or two away from doing the same...

I found a few other companies that do similar work.
Revolution Turbo-IS38 wheel upgrade $950
Mike Turbo billet wheel $850
Comp Turbo billet wheel $725
I just sent mine to Revolution for inspection/rebuild for $350. I'll have them check it out and make sure it's in good shape before I decide what I'm doing with it.

Curious about other people's experience with a hybrid is20 and what exactly they're doing to it. I miss the is20 low end spool!

Thats great news!
So the price of the rebuild is 350 +950 for the wheel upgrade or 950 all together?

$950 all in. I decided to do a factory rebuild rather than hybrid. Trying to stay within budget. They called me yesterday to let me know turbo looks good but they're putting in some new seals that had broken free. Should be shipped out this week, so 5 day turn around time.
