Turbo Technics S280

[Dpro]

X47R won't get near that number, and it's more heat and stress

Ya I just bit the bullet yesterday. lol I ordered a s280.

Been saving up for a new S280, but today saw a used X47R go up for sale at $800, half the price of a new S280. Been on the road for a bit over a year, that's all I know at the moment on it. Finances are obviously a big deal so saving that money is important to me. What I am worried about is installing a used turbo, plus the fact that it's a hybrid and "can" increase mechanical wear on the other components compared to something that spools later. Shooting for 300hp on stock fuel and dp. Any thoughts?

I watched about 3 of his videos for like the 5th time to get some more info. As always they're a bounty of information! Just gotta wait and see if the seller even replies to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Should be ordering it next week when the buyer for my other car comes to collect.

Hello friends, I am thinking of installing a turbo S280, but I have the concern to know who is the best programmer for the tune, some of you have good or bad experience with some of the most famous programmers of melodies for this model

That would be a good thread to start, I'm wondering the same thing

Starting to sound like a broken record but..

I'll say it again, Mitch @ CP-E has been excellent and super conservative. Wouldn't be surprised if I have the most mileage on an S280 on this forum.

It's all going to end up being personal opinion. Only way to get full evidence of one being better than the other is that they all meet up and work on the same car in same conditions on a dyno.

I appreciate you repeating yourself. But to be fair this thread alone has 78 pages, a lot of off topic stuff too. Sometimes its easier to ask the question.

When I spoke to him about four days ago, he informed me that neither he, nor the company are doing any installs for the foreseeable future, nor taking on any new tuning jobs going forward.
Maybe he was just telling ME that, I don't know.

Of course, since you've started the tuning process with him, he is obligated to finish it out for your revisions.

Oh damn, that’s unfortunate. Probably not profitable enough..

This thread is way more on topic as tuning the S280 is concerned: https://www.fiestastforum.com/threa...t-dyno-virtual-dyno-and-datalog-thread.22987/

He claimed due to the plague, and all of the uncertainty involved with it, as well as a severe lack of staff at their facility currently,

I ordered mine the other day finally. We’ll see how long it takes to get here! Everything else needed is here already.
