No. You could run an adjustable FPR with MS, but don't use an RRFPR.

I'd just stick with the stock one.

Do you think I dont have a choice besides going MS at this point?

Im wondering if I need to run the rrfpr if I run MS.

Wastegate dump is now routed down to the ground, downpipe is finished and ready to drive to my buddies shop to finish the exhaust on his lift. What do most people do for catch cans? Location? Which lines do they tap into?

I talked to WAR and they said they have nothing for Non Vanos turbo's WTFFFFFF I dont even know what to do now fuck.

Yeah I was a little skeptical about how they are gonna look but Im pretty confident Ill be able to pull them off. Now I just have to figure out tire sizing, what size spacers, how low I wanna go, and what color I wanna refinish them

Those wheels are heavenly.

Sweet

Always loved these, plus I needed more ground clearance, Ive gone through 3 oilpans with 15's and a raceskids plate and I cant risk losing oil with this turbo. Also Im one 7 wide now and these are 8 wide so I can run some 225s.

Tacked up the downpipe last night, my buddy tigged it all together today. Looks closer to the valve cover then it is. Still gonna build a heat shield.

You'll need bigger than 30lb/hr injectors, I was close to maxing those out on my turbo m42.

Yup, canceled my bid and now im looking for 42lbsssss

Getting really frustrated with how I am going to tune this. Megasquirt is looking good but I contacted VAC and they quoted me dyno tuning starting at $1000. My budget is around 2k (I know im gonna go over) but injectors, megasquirt, a wideband and that that tune puts me over 2k lol.

Yup VAC originally qouted me 1500 recontacted them and talked to chris and it was 600 for the first 4 hours then 150 after that.

There is a place in Linden NJ that works specifically on 24v turbo cars.

You should still run an adjustable FPR so you can play with that for tuning capabilities. Otherwise your limited to what the stock FPR is pushing & something tells me your gonna be going above and beyond that lol

Good call. I most likely will. Once i get money for for ARP studs and a MLS head gasket this thing will be retarted, but I wanna start off safe.

Anyone know what kinda threads/fitting I need for the oil feed off the oil pressure sensor.

Decided on going megasquirt. Should be worth it in the long run. Biggest things still left to do is grab some injectors. I was gonna go with 30lbs ones, unless anyone has any other input on that. I need to fab up the down pipe, piping from turbo to manifold, and lengthen the piping from intercooler to throttle body becuase i wont be running a MAF with MS.

E36 bottom mount ebay manifold modified for top mount and reinforced to shit with external wastegate provision.



Also got the intercooler in there really solid, would not hesitate to drive this with out the valance, which is gonna happen a few times obviously haha.
