    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.
    work in progress

          Okay, so lets say $10 a guess.

          My turbo will use the tubular manifold and tune as provided by Jake at 9 psi.

          The car is a 1991 318i with about 140k. It currently has an aftermarket CAI.

          My guess is a 61.5% increase in rwhp.

                You may wanna re-read the whole thread. The detail is in here and base pricing is listed also, but varies as a function of customization.

                    Off topic, but Mike...just happened to notice you're in New Orleans. I actually live in Slidell.

                    You ever venture out to the Sunday meets?

                        Just picked up a stage 3 clutch from clutch net. I will let you guys know how it works with this setup. I called and thats what they reccommended. Might not test drive until spring though. Plan is to get it balanced with my JB flywheel. Hopefully i can cool the rattle.

                            Actually just pulled my clutch and flywheel. Bringing to the shop to get balanced today. Still salt on the roads so won't test out until April or so.

                              Well, I tried to do the right thing when I put together my exhaust and I got a "high flow" cat. Turns out cheap catalytic converters are cheap and it basically fell apart. Pulled it off and gutted it this weekend and man, the car runs way better now. This thing pulls like crazy in 2nd gear.

                              I probably have about 4,000 miles on my turbo now and I have had no problems (that weren't my own fault). It will definitely reveal where your car may be lacking in other areas (*cough* clutch *cough*), but the kit is legit.
