    Noob turbo e30

    Been a lurker on here for quiet some time and never even had an account but finally made one and decided to show my car real fast. Bought the car when I was 18 and left it stock for awhile and a couple months ago started on the turbo build and am pretty much finished. So here's a couple pictures if it enjoy

    Big oil coolers like that may cause oil pressure issues, I know on some other car it can be bad but Im not sure for the e30. Overall looks great.

      It came stock with a oil cooler but the hard lines wouldn't clear the manifold so I just redid the system. I'll keep an eye on the gauge though as they are different specs

          You'd be surpised how much a turbo quiets things.

          Oil cooler dosnt seem overly big?

              Yep. My 3" with just a MagnaFlow is very quiet by most standards.

                    Turbo does quiet things down a bit and there's a high flow cat in there as well

                          Where did you get that cool turbo manifold?

                            It's made by revshift but I think it's discontinued now. Just an adapter that uses the stock manifolds

                              Nice, I like home builds. (especially if they work lol)
                              Your oil cooler is fine - mine is bigger and I never have oil pressure issues.

                              Also, why is your buddy torching the turbo charger?
