Is it ok to put HKS 280's while having a stock turbo? and can I run the same springs, retainers and valves.

 

yes and yes.

Make sure you tune once installed.

 

yeah. but ive been debating cams myself for a long time. im not so sure i can handle listening to the idle. for a while its cool. and i may be able to get usto the 272's cuz there not to bad. but 280's i dont think i could handle, there pretty lopey

 

Yeah its fine to run them. especially if you get the valve train to support it.

Just get tuned.

Good Luck

 

I wouldn't do 280s w/o upgraded valvetrain...just my 2 cents

 

I have HKS 264/264 cams for sale. Stock like idle.

 

I would change the springs and retainers and get a tune.just my 2 cents

 

HKS cams do not have a high lift so stock valvetrain is fine. Stock turbo's are out of its efficiency range above 7500 anyway.

You can play with different cam gears settings to smooth out the idle a bit on 280's. But it'll always be somewhat lopey.

 

I ran hks 280s on my stock 05 turbo set-up.....and made like 380 awhp out of a restrictive 3" catback

 

aye guys, I was also wondering if I need to get a upgraded ecu to accommodate it. or can I just run stock ecu?

 

you can run stock. just gota get it flahsed and tuned
