how much? | | | | | 11-12-2007, 08:25 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 |
Does it actually work, I thought our 4 banger couldn't handle a turbo? Clay are you thinking of getting this turbo? | | | | | 11-12-2007, 08:51 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |
i think most 4 bangers can handle a turbo. main worry is usually head gasket and it all depends on how much boost your trying to push | | | | | 11-12-2007, 08:58 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Greece Athens Posts: 302 |
BMW 4 pots can handle big boost if properly tuned. That one is running 1.3 bar on stock internals with no problem. __________________

im going with the turbo option with the nickg stage 3 and another diff lsd and maybe some turbo timer and boost control all this is cheaper than the m3 swap __________________ 5/96 318TI Sport BIG TURBO | | | | | 11-13-2007, 02:10 PM | #13 | | doesn't care about you.

And the supercharger tune isn't the same as a turbo tune. Last I heard NickG isn't doing custom tunes anymore, so I don't think that's an option. Unfortunately you need to find someone to tune the DME FIRST, and then work with them to develop the right hardware AROUND the tune. Tuning is by far the MOST important part of a FI setup. For some reason everyone just seems to ignore the fact that there are only 3 people in North American that can actually tune an ODBII BMW DME with any amount of accuracy. __________________
