Hello everyone, I am running an s280 stock fuel setup and am curious about getting the low end donkey kick torque back. It looks like all turbo upgrades apart from whoosh hybrid and puma speeds x series turbos, are geared to making huge power up top. Are there any other smaller frame, quicker spool turbo options for those who prefer the low end torque of the stock unit?
How does a 2860 in a smaller housing fair against the s280 or even a whoosh hybrid?
Are there any other Garret, Borg Warner, precision turbos that are sized smaller similar to the stock kp39 frame, but with better internals, ball bearing....etc?
I would love to get the donkey kick back and then some meaning 300ft lbs and torque + spool coming in strong at 3k. I realize this isn't good for the engine, but I would like to eventually put this kind of stress on a built engine. I don't need 400+ hp, would just like whoosh hybrid type performance with a perhaps stronger, more robust and reliable turbo.
For now, I am planning on installing a WMI kit to hopefully bring the torque down on this s280 setup as I have no access to ethanol.
Thoughts and experiences appreciated.
