Our turbo is a natural upgrade to IS38, IS20, and even IS12 equipped cars where the OEM units lose breath mid-way in the RPM range. Coupled with a major redesign of the OEM bearing housing, the HPA IS38 Hybrid turbo is the perfect upgrade for those looking for a significant performance boost with improved long-term reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- FEATURES (Text + Image side-by-side) --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 20px; margin: 0 0 12px; font-weight: 800; text-align: left;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; gap: 18px; align-items: flex-start; flex-wrap: wrap;\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- TEXT --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 55%; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 6px 0;\"\u003eSupports up to 450HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 6px 0;\"\u003eCompressor 52mm\/67mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 6px 0;\"\u003eTurbine 54mm\/51mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 6px 0;\"\u003eUnrivaled reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 6px 0;\"\u003eDirect bolt-on replacement with installation kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 6px 0;\"\u003eHPA Turbo inlet pipe included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 6px 0;\"\u003eHPA silicone hose to adapt to factory airbox included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 6px 0;\"\u003eHPA proprietary mixed-flow turbine wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 6px 0;\"\u003eHPA proprietary CNC machined billet compressor wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 6px 0;\"\u003ePrecision CNC machined intake and exhaust housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 6px 0;\"\u003eFully redesigned bearing housing and components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 6px 0;\"\u003eOption to add Diverter Valve and Calibrated Electronic Wastegate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- IMAGE --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 40%; text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.hpamotorsports.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Hybrid_IS38_Dyno_slant_b8458938-c8b7-46d9-bdf1-7672ef4de983.jpg?v=1620169395\u0026amp;width=1080\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; border-radius: 12px; display: block;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 10px; font-size: 12px; color: #666;\"\u003e*Power figures are estimates and depend on fuel quality, supporting modifications, and tuning.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- REVIEWS --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 14px; border: 1px solid #e9e9e9; border-radius: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-weight: 800; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 16px;\"\u003eCustomer Reviews\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-weight: 800;\"\u003e⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 8px 0; color: #222;\"\u003eAt first I was a little skeptical as I was positive the FR450 would not reach 450 WHP.
