          Love the color. Does that say 270hp for your max output?
          Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
          This is the internet. Just make something up.

                270 Hp/255 ft/lb just shy of 13lb boost with no intercooler, just methanol which handles cooling & raises octane to something close to 110-112. Good tuning goes a long way.

                Bought this car with the kit on it already & have spent all the $$ on the engine to this point. Thinking about replacing the front end with usual stuff since its looks more period correct to me too.
                What's funny is outside the BMW crowd, everybody likes the way it looks.

                      is there even an intercooler?
                      looks like its direct connected to the intake??

                      edit* saw other post, NO INTERCOOLER

                        This car run solely on methanol? What do you do with it?

                        Edit: never mind I see what's going on.

                          Damn nice set up--I think the kit looks clean on your cabrio.
