FAQ
Is 177281 a direct bolt-on?
No—this is a universal T4 turbo. You’ll need a T4 manifold, compatible downpipe/outlet, and proper oil feed/return and charge piping.
Street friendly as a single?
Yes when properly fueled and matched; quicker response than many T6 S400 singles with strong mid/top power. For tow-heavy needs, consider smaller S300s or compounds.
What are the basic wheel sizes?
Approx. 66mm compressor inducer, ~91.4mm exducer; turbine ~80mm inducer / ~73mm exducer (AirWerks S300SX3 family).
Do I need an oil restrictor?
Typically no for journal-bearing AirWerks when feed/return are set up correctly. Prime before first start.
