Turbo - not tuned yet, so i have not pushed it

Supercharger - 12#psi, big torque of the line, especialy with the 6 puck clutch and lightened flywheel. even power though the rpm range that maxed out at 4500 rpm at 12#. i have beat the stock m3's out here and some turbo'd honda's. have not run many ohters.


i will update the turbo section after tunning.

Hey Jer, the car looks good. Nice to see you finally went turbo. Is that a custom kit like your old SC kit? Our was it some kit from TurboEast, SRT, or other?

Please post some details on the components, such as manifold type, turbo specs, fuel system upgrades, engine management system, etc. (I'm still trying to convince Rolo to boost; if he does it, then I'll do it again too.)

Thanks for the info. Seems like a nice kit. I'm guessing that you were able to re-use much of your intercooler piping and had everything else custom fabbed? Are you tuning it yourself as well? Is it pretty easy with the Haltech? I've been wondering if it's more cost effective to piece together the hard parts rather than buying a "kit".

it is defenitly cheaper to buy the kit, by alot. the piping was custom made and custom powder coated to match MSM along with the compressor housing of the turbo. all of the exhaust, manifold and hot parts of the turbo were ceramic coated. the piping is different, same intercooler, but i have a turbo east intercooler as well, new bov.
