So in my Quixotic quest for the best dollar-for-dollar + reliability + ease of installation journey I came across Turbo Technics S270 "hybrid". I couldn't find anyone on the forum writing about TT's approach to a bolt-on OEM machined turbo. It seems to be TT's take on what other hybrids do as it reuses the turbo housing? I'm not sure but Collins issues a 500 GBP refund if you return your OEM turbo. I think since they're removing the OEM wheel and replacing with their full turbine wheel this is actually a tiny big turbo. Can anyone weigh in on this? With the current exchange rate I could grab this S270 and a Vudu ported manifold and have a stock fitting upgraded turbo that can *probably* hit 300whp on a conservative e30 tune with uprated injectors all for around $2000-2300 and not having to mess around relocating parts/shaving engine blocks/changing the dynamic of the OEM FiestaST too much.
This might be a moot point as I can't find a supplier in the States and every British TT S270 won't ship stateside. My last hope is Collins Performance (which would be my first choice anyway but waiting on their CustomerSupport to respond back with a yes/no) but they use a proprietary WGA Collins Performance 1.6 Ecoboost Actuator - Collins Performance .
Edit: Well Collins got back fast. They quoted me a 180GBP shipping so factor in return shipping this is probably about $1500 once everything is said and done soooo about the same price as a whoosh hybrid. But based on everything provided this seems more like Collins' version of the Peron S284 kit. of a full bolt on turbo kit using their own WGA. From what I can tell by the pictures the only things I'll really need after this is a upgraded FMIC, tuner and the uprated injectors.
Here is the only British seller whose site provided the info on what's in an S270 TurboTechnics S270 Hybrid turbo kit for ST180 - H-Sport Performance (hsportperformance.co.uk)
