So with that in mind if you wanted something like that you'd have to figure out how to install an electric motor to your turbo and likely even more CAN bus integration. I haven't heard anyone able to do this yet, much less a kit, but if you could it would be pretty cool especially if you eventually upgraded the size of your turbo where twin scroll tech wouldn't be able to help as much.
Oh no, in this context hybrid just means a turbo with a stock casing but bigger turbines. This includes turbos like Pure, GC+, etc
