          I mean you need to replace the Vortech unit with a BEGI unit. The rate of rise is totally adj with the BEGI unit where your Vortech unit is set at 10:1. The BEGI will allow you to tune the fuel pressure for any given boost.

              The best pricing is from some guy on EBAY selling at $185. I have a few in stock at $195 plus shipping.

                todd, I may have missed this at some point, but are you putting together a bolt-on turbo kit for the m20 to sell?

                        That is great Todd.

                        I just wish I could get someone to let me beta test their turbo kit on my car :)

                          That's going to be/aready is the cleanest looking turbo set-uo I've ever seen on an E30.

                            That exhaust manifold design is the first I've seen that I would seriously consider.

                            Will you be doing any EGT testing on the individual exhaust ports?

                            I'd be curious to know if you get higher EGT's on any of the cylinders with that manifold design.

                              TCD, are you planning in the near future to build a turbo manifold with equal lenght pipes ?

                                Where did you get that manifold?

                                Mark: "Didn't you just break a rocker arm?"
                                Me: "Yeah, I don't think I've learned my lesson."
                                Mark: "You never will."
