      Is there a dramatic difference in running ITB’s with FI?

          So quickie update, running 10.5psi. Will get on the dyno before bimmerfest then move onto testing a slightly larger turbocharger. Have been beating on this car every single week without issue!

              So awesome! I found it funny how on page one they were cracking on you for turboing your automatic transmission. Before I start searching for what happened, how did it hold up? I saw you converted to manual in the photos. I can’t wait to order the 20g kit, I had a fp20g on my bugeye wrx with a jdm 5 speed Sti tranny and boy must I say, no car has put a smile on my face since- until now. Just picked up my first e30 vert and am learning everything about it. Almost ordered the kit with my tax return last week but the wifey had other plans. Great build and I can’t wait!!

                So the automatic ended up losing reverse when cold, and couldn't shift fast enough above 9psi, it would clip the limiter between shifts. Never slipped or anything but enough problems that a 5speed swap was in order. At 7psi the auto shifted well.

                  Ah good to know. Good thing I’m piecing my 5 speed swap together for this summer. Was hoping you had blown it up lol

                    Quick update, car has been running flawless, no mechanical changes or maintance has been needed other than rear tires soon and oil change. Had some tune issues at radwood but got it all straightened out. Auto-xing on the itb turbo setup is a blast!
