I hope you are joking

Are you implying that I can build turbo kits for other cars but not the ti?

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.

A lot less hassle and expense is to flash your OEM DME with turbo code which is already written and tested. You then retain all factory function and the car handles boost like it had a turbo from the factory

That solves what would be the biggest problem for me; the piping, etc is a piece of cake

Auto trans should be the same as a 328i. They are not very strong but will handle maybe 220hp daily. This is not from experience but from reliable people in the business...

Some tips if you're not going to do a tear down and rebuild with performance clutches, etc:

1. 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.

Man you must have connections to be able to make this manifold for less then OBX. 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

VERY nice thing to be cheaper than OBX, but please dont comprimise on quality for it. 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??

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.
