I for one would definitely be interested.
I also have a question regarding management.
My turbo experience is limited to a Mazda 1.8 DOHC so this field is fairly new to me but why not use a stand alone management system or am I missing something?
It would definitely not be a weekend driveway project but it seems to me it would be a lot less hassle. | | | | | 08-11-2011, 04:36 PM | #49 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 |

You then retain all factory function and the car handles boost like it had a turbo from the factory | | | | | 08-11-2011, 05:28 PM | #50 | | Member Join Date: Aug 2011 Location: Long Beach CA Posts: 88 |

They are not very strong but will handle maybe 220hp daily. This is not from experience but from reliable people in the business... | | | | | 08-12-2011, 03:33 AM | #53 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: NJ Posts: 106 |

Max transmission fluid level out 2. Convert TCU to Euro TCU 3. Add euro S/E/M switch 4. Use sport mode (via S/E/M switch) before engaging boost I'd be interested to know if anyone's run more than 10psi with the 4L30E. __________________

OK, so for those who might be interested I am going to start small.
I will soon have a tubular stainless turbo manifold available, it will be available with T3 or T25 flange and with or without a wastegate port.
It'll be priced less than the OBX one and will not require any mods to install. | | | | | 08-22-2011, 02:25 AM | #56 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 |

I'm interested in seeing the final product. Will you offer top mount on the turbo? If so I would buy one to get mine up top...A/C is a must for me so if you do top mount and it won't accept the A/C then I'm out. Best of luck, John Smith

I think everyone that is looking for this will want it to be a budget build type of deal, but they are still Bimmer owners and will demand quality. I cant wait to see whatever you come up with. Very excited and it sounds like you really know your stuff. Do you have any pics of former projects for examples?? | | | | | 08-23-2011, 03:19 AM | #58 | | Member Join Date: Jun 2011 Location: VAN Posts: 71 |
You guys will see the product soon enough, as far as quality, it'll at least be on par with the OBX -
you can search "angus turbo kit" if you like
IF the tubular stainless unit sells, I will look at doing a cast manifold.

You might want to also give some thought to an M44 Z3 version to expand your sales. __________________
