Turbo Technics S280

lol, considering this is online, I'm afraid you'll also get info that's all over the place.

I think I went with 3mm though. Measure if that's 4 full turns.

i did measure. But only had an imperial scale. So 4 turns was just a hair over 1/8. So it’s probably 3.5-4mm

Any of you guys remember how many turns you used to set the preload on the TS WGA? The info online is all over the place. I did 4 full turns. I haven’t installed the turbo yet. But I’d like to make sure the preload is in a good spot while it’s out.

Who is your tuner? That's a good place to start, 4 turns.

4 turns is pretty much 4mm
if you're doing 3mm, it's 2.5 full turns.

If you are tuning with Adam he recommends 3-4 turns 3-4mm . In fact he says anywhere above 14lbs so do not be afraid of a little too much thats fine. Its too little that is the problem.
It sounds like you are good to go @BroFiST I would not worry about it put it in and get it fired up and look at your AP if you see a minimum of 14lbs you are golden.

P.S. I had to do around 4 turns on mine.. Oh and ya I am tuned by Adam.

If I get my tune dialed in it means I can finally use the boost weather to roast the shitty pirelli pzero Nero’s on my oem wheels

Those pzero neros were by far my worst tire decision ever lol. They rolled over sooooo bad imo. Never. Again

Part of the deal you make when you add that much power. Always have a "buy a new engine" contingency fund or another car

Since I do not have, nor even can have either of those options, I am very hesitant to add an aftermarket snail to this, my ONLY ride, period.
(No matter HOW 'reliable' everyone rants and raves these things are with even 350 to the wheels.)

Thats kind of where im at. Honestly if I didn't have so much on it already I'd be looking at a veloster n . As it stands i might try and pay my car off before the install this summer so im not totally screwed in the worst case scenario 🥱

You don’t have to squeeze every bit of hp out of a bigger turbo. I ran a bigger turbo on an motor with low compression in one cylinder. I was making about 60hp less than I could have otherwise. My tuner gave me a more conservative tune that lasted several years. 163k miles before it gave up the ghost.
