Drivetrain JCW Turbo Swap
#101
I have my old "S" turbo I can rip the cold side housing off of if you want to see if it works/trade?

Since I'm planning on switching to the JCW turbo soon I just wanted to confirm something. Everyone that has done this appeared to keep the stock hose from the turbo to the air cleaner but one of the earlier post someone mentioned the K&N air cleaner hose won't work but the NM will. If the K&N fits the stock S turbo why won't it fit the JCW? Thanks for clearing this up.

I got a oem JCW turbo and the K&N typhoon CAI. It fitted just about perfect. For me the stock inlet hose wouldn't fit the oem JCW turbo.

In your case, I would be asking if there is a way to changing the shift points to make it more drive-able. Is there a tune which can do that, or will it just adapt on its own

Update on mine. I switched to the Manic stage 3 tune for the JCW turbo and wow what a difference than the last tune. Part throttle is way better and it's nice having the coolant temps down to the 180 range. I installed a AEM meth kit and it's finally working but I'm switching to the HFS-3 system and returning the AEM.
