Default BordWarner S256, stock LS set up.

What's up Honda Tech.. Couple of questions for my Forced Induction veterans...
Has anyone here used a BW S256 on stock applications? Minor bolt ons such as intake manifold, etc. But before I order one, I'm just looking for opinions of others.

And if some of you guys have used it.. What manifolds did you use?

Thanks guys.

Yea, he's the only guy thats had any sort of information on it. The link he shared had a B16 with that turbo on it, But that B16 also had head work, so it's just got me curious.

Agreed they are great and can be very adventageus especially with the gtx line up.

just surprised alot of users dont open their eyes to see that there are other options available and at times may work better with their setup and goals, especially with the EFR lineup from borg warner, and turbonetics well they may as well not even exist around here never seem to have anyone suggest one of those. precision does not exist for me personally

Honestly tho if I could only pick 1 brand ....garrett would still be at the top of my list.

Many people still do. In Honda world, though, it's all about what's least expensive for their purpose. Few Honda guys time attack, or even want to deal with water lines, and the proper equipment.

Precision, Turbonetics, and Holset are used here most.
