Interest in Bolt on Turbo kit?

Tell you what, guys. There's a dyno that pops up at car shows here in town all the time. If everyone chips in to buy me a kit, I'll install it and pay for the dyno time. Come on, what do you say? Everyone wins, right??

I can't believe that anyone could strap on a turbo and not have to know what kind of power they are laying down! I have access to a dyno for less than $100. You better believe I will be laying it down right after I install my kit with the MAF setup. Would love to see a graph to compare to though...

To all Dyno shoppers:

Jake has almost completed my kit and I will provide a before and after Dyno at 9 psi. I'm guessing I should have something by the first week of February if I get the kit in the next week or so.

Should Santa put a new E30 M3 under my tree tomorrow than all bets are off.

Did you ever get around to that dyno?

Will that allow the AFM to be removed? Would you need a MAF?

FYI, Jake thinks the MAF setup will remove the need to run the intake pipe across the front of the engine bay.

Yes. No. When you build your megasquirt unit you'll want to use an internal or external map sensor.

No dyno results yet? Seriously!!!

Alpha-n and boost dont go together. You could always buy Jakes kit and then later on go with a megasquirt ecu. No changes would need to be made other than tuning.

[dpmcdonald]

Ordered! Decided to order and wait for the MAF setup. Very exciting!

[dpmcdonald]

Bump. Emailed Jake. Seriously considering one of these kits.

It's not too bad I drove mine around for a week before bringing to the shop

[Ocell]

Disregard that last post. Jake answered through e-mail. The system is quiet enough to drive with just the downpipe (O2 sensor mounts in it) if you don't get on it hard.

[Ocell]

You can do it over a long weekend. I had my exhaust almost ready to connect to the downpipe, which helped. The most time consuming part, it seemed, was the usual e30 nonsense (rusted bolts, etc). Modifying the front valence requires some trial and error, but it's not too bad.

How did you get the exhaust made so it would match up with the downpipe's location before everything was installed?

I've never messed with a turbo setup, so forgive me if it's a stupid question. I've just been assuming I'd need to drive to the exhaust shop with no exhaust after installing the turbo.
