would not spend that kind of money on a stock flange turbo, even if it is garrett. If staying stock flange id highly recommend just sticking with bnr or corksport
as for op, i wouldnt even consider an S2 tbh, just grab a Chris Ward k04 if you wanna replace it. either go s3 or cst4. cst4 is good...
The gaskets could be reused if they’re still in good condition. Worst case it leaks and you unbolt the downpipe. Aftermarket that should take like 10-15 mins
A freak OTS+ is a base map + revision (sometimes he’ll give you more according to peer experiences)
so you’ll have the basemap ready to...
xs power is the only cheapo manifold I’d go with. I’ve had some people run them for years and some people end up with leaks.
Graveyards is great if you don’t want EWG. If you want EWG and stock flange, don’t get it cause getting to the bolts is impossible.

I wouldnt even have an exhaust manifold in my mind at your stage. Youre pretty much stock at this...
the k04s intake sound is definitely a succccc
My S4 is considerably quieter with a hint of anti surge whine.
S257sxe has a pretty damn loud whine and same with the FP black for Subarus. That’s all my experience.
but pretty much any turbo car with an un resonated/catless exhaust will give you a...
If you’re going catless then find an eBay one used on Facebook. Or eBay if they’re in stock but atm I don’t think they are. If you wanna be lame and stay catted then that’s when I’d stick with something like UR or cpe or something
Yea so after the machine shop messed my shit up I kinda just gave up on building the motor. Sold it and upgraded all my camera shit. So I’m turning this into a normal build thread/maintenance thing
anyways, went on a canyon run and on the way down I’d floor it and go nowhere, afr hit 16 before...
