Thanks for the updated link (the one you posted earlier was dead)
Also, any info on the turbo timer chip you used? How exactly does it work as far as tuning or is it simply a pre-made chip with no tuning ability?

Thats the chip I used.

Pre-made, with no tuning ability, but i am very happy with it :)

Update on the brakes.

They are the first generation Ireland Engineering bbk, uses 310 or 320mm floating rotors with aluminum hats and PBR aluminum calipers. Same calipers as on a 95-01 cobra I believe, also the corvette used them around the same time.

Wow that's sick! So clean. I bet it's fun as hell to drive!

[Lrutts]

only thing i would say to do is black out the inter-cooler.- would make it look even more clean

I have been thinking about doing that!

Best Bronzit e30 ever! But I prefer it with the old chrome trim instead.
But I have to say I noticed these eBay kits have improved over the years. Yes fitment is still a pain but at least the compressor housings aren't glued together like they used to be. And your car is a good example why ebay kits aren't so bad anymore. Now we gotta get some dyno numbers of your car

Ya this kit really has surprised me. I head good and bad things about the ebay kits over the years, but this kit has done very very well. I still plan to dyno it this year, just need to switch to an external wastgate. The internal is causing a few issues it seems.

Anymore info on the exact kit you bought from ebay? I'm seriously considering this now..
Nice looking bronzit :up:

can you give us some more info on this? are you a 5 lug swap
?

I am not 5 lug swapped, just used an adapter.

Just installed front brakes from a 98 cobra R. Great kit, barelly fit the 17" rims. They sure get my 2700 lb car to stop on a dime!
