    Alpina E30 tribute turbo build, aka 10lbs o sh*t in a 5 lb bag

    Edit, Dyno sheets and vid on page 5!


    OK gents, well I have been busy this winter going over the E30 and ditching the AA stg 1 SC for turbo, the SC was fun @ about 320 whp but I wanted more so I went down the deep hole of boost and emerged on the other side complete with what I think is a pretty damn solid build. I don’t post too much about my car because I am pretty humble about it so here is a rundown of what shes got. All work was done by myself and my shop partner @ JG Technik in CT.

    BTW look for the car is a month or 2 in Bimmer Magazine!!

    Car is nearly completed and just waiting on gauges and a few bits to tidy it up, a couple more weeks and then she shall be complete… for now…

                        What boost level are you running and when do you reach max boost?
