Accessport and tune; radiator is nice to have but not required. Otherwise go for it.

You don't "need" anything else, but you could get a crossover pipe, fuel upgrades, and potentially a LSD for overall support.

It does have an accesport, only other things i was thinking of was 30% injectors, i bought the s284 from dhminer and the airtec manifold as well

If you have the budget, get the injectors and the hpfp. Then save for clutch/lsd.

 

[Connor14]

I was thinking just the injectors. Hpfp a lil pricey

All you "need" is an accessport and the turbo itself. Your tuners will tune around any hardware limitations you have. Some people try to max out on bolt-ons before they upgrade the turbo, but it's not really mandatory.

Adam at tune+ says injectors without hpfp is fine, Jason at dizzy says not fine. I’d do both or neither personally. S280 is about perfect for the stock fuel system. You will be shocked how much faster the car is with the turbo and no additional fuel. Can always add fuel system upgrades later.

As for other mods, I’d say send it. As someone else said a crossover might help but definitely don’t need anything else.

Im just thinking i dont want to have pay more to get the thing retuned after plugs. Would rather do a 1 and done but at the same time id have to wait 2 months or so to get the injectors so i wasnt sure if itd be worth it

 

[Connor14]

*after the bigger injectors

I'd consider saving the injector and pump money for an LSD depending on what you are going to use the car for.

Are you installing this yourself, or is a shop doing the work (IF so, which one?)?

Do Ivey Tune, or Precision Tuning work on Ford Ecoboost stuff at all?

I cannot echo this enough. LSD is definitely needed. I am going for LSD shortly as the S280 gives gobs of power even on pump gas tune and E30 tune just gets silly.. I mean you upgrade the injectors and fuel pump and your landing in 350-380 hp land officially. I personally find that just nuts for our cars. I showed Vdyno charts with 340 ft lbs of TQ and 310 Hp on E30 at 27lbs of boost!!

Ya LSD think wisely.

I agree with this sooo much that a limited slip is requisite for me even before adding any major power beyond a tune, while still on the factory snail.

Agreed, unless all you plan on doing is roll racing. Which really isn't what the fiesta was made for IMO.

I'm also on the factory turbo with an E30 tune, and because we still have warmer temps out here, I feel like I have plenty of traction in 2nd gear. I have a feeling once it cools off here, that my mind will change about needing an LSD. I'd almost rather buy the entire gearbox with a Wavetrac LSD installed from Clarke Transmissions, swap that in and keep the original gearbox as a spare. I have a habit of accumulating parts for vehicles that I plan on keeping forever.

im staying far away from ivey tune. My huddy had an evo rebuild there and it blew 2 times. I work at a car dealership and theres a mechanic there thats gonna install it

 

[Connor14]

I personally think lsd will be unnecessary as im mainly just driving it for fun, and to suprise some people on the highway

Then yeah the LSD probably doesn't make sense if you are just roll racing sometimes.
