Turbo Technics S280

I was saying aux fuel on 93 ain't worth the cost. If you don't have ethanol, then run meth.

that is true, literally maybe get 10whp more with aux on just 93oct. You only see a real upgrade on Ethanol or maybe Race Gas.

So your saying 93 with six isn’t worth it. Only worth it if you run e blend.

Yeah if you don't have access to ethanol, then running meth would be the better decision.

Thanks for the information. That is essentially what was done then. I'll post if I had to change anything.

Adding some wastegate duty eliminated the boost creep issue.

was going to post about SPA again, but just remembered that I already ordered the meth-charge pipe from CPE.

I'm getting meth. I'm going that route. It is done.

cant wait to see results!

have to decide on a kit from Snow Performance now, probably would have cost just as much to go SPA hahaha

That is a very good kit, I think the only recommendation would be a filter before the nozzle and a switch to turn it off and on so you are not constantly using it.

Might have to upgrade again.... oof

Do you daily your car at all? They're recommending internals and whatnot for the S290 and their engine dyno results are not with a stock 1.6EB

I'm half kidding. I love the spool of the S280 so if any of that goes away with the S290 I likely wouldn't upgrade. Those initial dyno graphs definitely show slower spool. I plan to eventually build my engine, yes.

I think it would be a great turbo with the right supporting setup but i don't see it working as well on a stock engine. I think the S280 is the best all around-er

Who are you guys using to tune this turbo? JST? Stratified? Is it normal to have 7 revisions on a tune? That seems high to me. If I got this turbo and wanted an e30 and a 91 tune how many data logs and revisions should I expect to go through?

Yup, pretty normal. If you read the thread, all of us have said who we are tuning with. If that seems high to you, you can travel to a reputable pro-tuner who has ecoboost experience and have him/her perform the tune on a dyno. Should take 2-3 hours to the cost of ~$750-1000. Likely 10-12 revisions per fuel choice.

Personally I've had up to 20+ revisions when dealing with minor issues. On even normal tune it might take that long if the tuner is taking his time in adjusting little increments. So don't expect to have 3 revisions do 91oct and 3 on E30, also for E30 you'll most likely need aux fuel.

Even then, on a dyno it might take 10 or 12 pulls to get it right, even slight adjustments after since the dyno is not the same as running on the road.

I just bought a tune from mitch at cpe per others recommendations. will be starting my tune soon. waiting on a few parts.

Thanks for the info guys. I now have a much better idea what to expect w the e-tune process. I’m in NM and have an e85 station 1 mile away, but sadly no 93 octane, just 91 (same as I had in Cali). Somehow I can justify the cost of the turbo and supporting mods, but I can’t see myself doing aux. Therefore I guess the hybrid is the better choice because I prefer running e30. If only the hybrid was $1350-1400, how easy the choice would be!

I would still go with the s280 and save up for aux over time. You could run 4 port and run straight e85.

Has anybody tried tuning on E20 on the stock fuel system or is it just not worth running any ethanol on this turbo without port injection?
