Finished tuning today, only a few bugs to work out and then I can see what kind of boost this setup will hold. External wg is set at a higher pressure than the internal there for does not open.
OEM+ or bust! reelizmpro: I will always be an e30 guy.. I still do all of my own labor TrentW: There's just something so right about a well-built M20 in an E30 e30m3s54turbo: I save my money for tuner parts.
So only leak that developed was between plenum and backing plate at around 6psi, but I only had a black rtv seal so it was somewhat expected, I did have to cut the rtv around the entire border to get it free from the backing plate it was stuck on there pretty good everywhere but one spot. This time I went with a felpro .063mm gasket I cut and then used black rtv as additional assurance. Will test drive in the morning, hoping it'll hold at minimum 9psi. Car is very fun to drive as it has that crisp n/a response but with all the glorious boost noises.

Loving the build!! Good to know that manifold can hold boost because I’m going to go rotrex on my e30. Initially going 6lbs and then I’ll throw some itbs on.
