    Nice. I plan on starting my turbo build this year. I want to find another M42 first though.

          love where this is going. Let us know how those hawk pads work out. Do you have stainless lines as well? I need to do something about better brakes but have no more monies...

            I installed the pads on Friday and bed them. I do have SS lines, however I didnt get a chance to flush the system and replace my old fluid with the ATE I bought. I have them on my e90 and I love them.

            On another note, standalone went in yesterday and I'm working on getting it going. :)

              So here is the "base" tune that the Kdfi unit comes with. It's horribly wrong for the m42. I changed the Control Algorithm, Fuel and Ignition Load from Alpha N to Speed Density. I also changed the Req_fuel and adjusted the VE table closer to a setting to match.

                Took a break from tuning and installed a few things. Wheel is a Momo Mod 78 and COP kit is from hqautosports

                  Car now idles on standalone. Super happy about that. Coilovers and econoboost gauge arrive tomorrow. Still need to change out the head gasket and head studs as well as clutch and flywheel. Getting there.

                        Nicely done. I'm seriously considering going megasquirt because of driveability/aging stock AFM issues on my turbo M42. I need to do a lot more reading but I've been a little scared off by the initial setup. Was it not too bad?

                          Some parts were easy and others I was pulling my hair out. It took me roughly 2 weeks to get the car to idle correctly. In the last week I've got a decent road tune done and am thoroughly enjoying it.

                          Whatever you do, read everything you can?

                            Very nice job. I remember hating myself when I did megasquirt on my M42 turbo car. That was a long time ago and it looks like things have developed nicely since then.

                              Thanks! It has quite a bit more to go, but it's getting there. Your turbo thread was one of the two that sparked my interest in turboing.
