Turbo Technics S280

I actually had a screen name for this site, but tapatalk used my default username. Or something. I don't know.


Don't make me spend more money! I'm trying to rationalize this as a good deal, I got the car for $11k with 100k miles.

Buy things used where you can. Most of my boltons and my pi kit was used. Only the turbo kit was new. 11k for 100k miles seems high tbh.

11k with a warranty. It was actually listed at 9k. The mileage got me nervous and I was new to the platform. I wish I hadn't gotten the warranty, will be hard to make up $1900 in service.

Yeah im not sure why you got a warrety if you plan on modding the car they will deny you anyhow. Private sale you can get these cars for nothing.

That's why I've only done accessport so far, just flashed back to stock and took it in for the transmission seal leak. I did read about leaking headgaskets on early models.

I mean if anything ever goes wrong with your engine they are gonna check to see if it's flashed. It doesn't matter if you. Unmarry it they can still see that it had been flashed.

Everything I bought will work with the s280. I enjoy working on cars it’s a hobby. So no wasted parts. I have a mod path.

Warning, my MAP charge pipe was rubbing on the intermediate axle so I had to use the provided pipe to a stock silicone pipe that connects to the intercooler. Make sure you keep that one stock pipe or my car would of sat for more time than it should

You managed to install the kit with a different charge pipe?

If I do any upgrades to my car this is it. Bone stock currently. If I'm not willing to pony up for a turbo it will stay stock. That is my upgrade plan.

I can take a pic if any of you need it. I would of been screwed. Also, invest in vband clamps or something decent. Besides the wasteg

I tried to at first but I had to use the one charge pipe that comes with the s280 and one stock silicone one to get it to the turbo side of the IC.

to complete the hot side with 280 supplied pipe use this:

Intercooler, accessory, s280 kit, colder plugs, 5-30w oil, and I highly recommend getting rid of the terrible stock tranny fluid immidiatly. I used ravenol but mine original fluid was destroyed at 20k

Is this a different shape than the one that normally comes with the hose kit?

 

[CarFanatic]

why would you need a different hot side pipe if this fits in factory location?

The kit comes with a pipe that replaced the hotside and J pipe.

I only needed a different one because I didnt have stock charge pipes. If I had stock charge pipes it fits
