mind explaining why you went 280 after having the whoosh hybrid? curious as i'm thinking of upgrading turbo but want to hear from people who had both.

After all the fun I’ve had with the car, I decided that since I’m on the highway much more, I might as well get a turbo that hauls ass to redline. Plus I’ll be honest, I enjoy the car more without worrying about the extra torque with the hybrid, the s280 is so smooth but powerful, I’m only on pump gas though. And I don’t have to worry about reliability as much with a new turbo, granted I had 0 problems myself with the hybrid, but with the hybrid being at maybe 90000 miles at the time of the swap, I felt more comfortable with a newer core turbo.

Also it sounds cool, it’s like a mini jet engine underneath when I’m going uphill creeping into boost haha!

really appreciate you guys responding even though there are a thousand posts already written. just found out about the jaguar injectors so knowing that and how 330whp is pretty realistic on e40 with an s280 and those injectors...oof.
