Car looks good. Nice how you took a completely stock E30, and transformed it into a monster.

whats the highest psi you think you can run with the kit?
did you pretty much just bolt it up?
did the chip come with the kit?
VERY INTERESTED

I think this is the first thread I've seen where nobody mentions anything about being a bronzit lol.
Really nice car OP. Props for being able to do this at such a young age.

This was the kit I got:

The Chip was bought separately:

I ran 8psi all summer, and that was easy on the car, I will be running 10psi this summer and I will let you know how that works out.

It is a bolt on kit, but trust me, you need a welder! That intercooler fits, but you need to weld in supports and cut some of the frame.

Having a BMW service tech for a bro helps! As does working at a BMW dealership :)

1) Props to the work and progress you’ve made.

2) Your attitude and maturity is admirable. When you told Potter he wasn’t being a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles – and then explained where you were coming from – well that was just refreshing.

3) Hell – fuckin –YEAH – glorious be the coming of Spring time !!
