I am looking at the W280....Whats the difference between the W280 and W380...
I thought the W280 are of higher quality?

Best would be to phone Turbo direct, they are the garett importers in SA and they sell these W280 turbos

Why don't you take the shot turbo off and compare, the turbo should fit onto the exhaust manifold, as for the downpipe to the exhaust...don't know...

bolt the rear piece off that is fitted to the turbo at the moment and the elbow you have will fit fine.
Also what you pay for this? looking at a temp solution for my SR...

Buddy of mine bought it new, wrote his car off before he could fit it. He paid 3.5k for it, and i got it from him...
Anyways car going in for fitment tomorrow, hope it will at least perform the same as my gt2560r
