yeah but when i saw hybrid i was assuming a engine off another brand. I wouldn't mind getting myself a 7 its just i don't know where to start off how to mod. Pulleys? Upgraded Turbo? Intercooler? Intake? Exhaust? I'm a fanatic just a dumb one that doesn't know much

There is a basic order to FC's. Turbo II's for example:

1) Intake, FCD
2) Exhaust, fuel controller, ported wastegate
3) FMIC
4) Standalone ECM
5) Aftermarket turbo/wastegate/BOV

Suspension mods as desired. There's also a lot of emissions equipment to pull, and you'll have lots of crap to fix. Always.

What year? The '88 GTU was a great car, basically an updated Sport with a few extra features (LSD, tweed seats, etc). The 89-91 GTU was the base model.

Neither are the lightest.

yeah i think the 88. I remember some guy came to a drift day that i went in and some guy came in a white gtu. I was just thinking oh man that guys gonna tear it up then some other guys are like "if its not turbo it won't do anything" boom this guy gets a good run. I was in one of the best runs there to bad i wasn't driving my friend was in his gt-s hatch.

I'm using a 13BT, single turbo two rotor from a GT-R, GT-X or Infini I/II (Japanese market FC's.) I'm converting it to a pseudo-Infini, hopefully seeing mid 13's or better by spring.
nissan, mazda...SAME DAMN THING!!! hahahahaha
