    The exhaust looks terrible, the tip looks like a vacuum cleaner attachment.

    Your 19x6" rims need more offset, they are way inside the fenders.

    Why in God's name would you need 52#. injectors? My friend has a 400+ HP turbo S50 and he is only running 30#, and that is overkill he says.

      Those are some lame-ass tires your running for a 12psi turbo set-up.
      Can you say wheelspin?

        The wheels are 19x7.5 and they are inside the fenders due to excessive negative camber. A camber kit was installed, front and rear, but still have yet to align it.. even by eye.

        I want to tune the car at 15psi. 52lb injectors sound overkill.. but with the stock fuel pressure they act like a 42lb injector. I want to get rid of the RRFPR. I am aiming for over 350hp. Your friend with 30lb injectors probably has increased fuel pressure somehow.

        The wheel spin isn't bad. Those tires are pretty sticky. 1st gear is useless, but second and third are not tooo bad. Slips a bit at high rpm. Once I dial out that negative camber I would get a lot more traction... at least I hope so. The diff mount seemed to help traction A LOT.

        The intercooler is huge. ;)

          Definately differant. Not a fan of big wheels at all but like you said it's yours, not mine.

          Turbos dig big exhausts so no sweat, but do you even have a muffler? My friend's Audi UrQ had no muffler and you couldn't even tell it was missing. Good luck in getting the engine dialed in.

          All of the turbo guys will have to get their cars dynoed on the same style machine and post numbers.

            That bump in the center of the exhaust is my muffler. It is a full out racing muffler and only 5" in diameter.

            Can't wait to get this thing on the dyno. :D I'll post updates as they are done.

            You guys should see the new brakes. :twisted:

            I'd like to see more turbo e30s

                Yeah those are just cheap ones off of ebay. The front adjuster tube is too small to fit over the strut tube though. Perfect for the rear.
