E30 S52 Build + Turbo Install

[DrLeadFoot]

Think the subframe cracked?? Hows the clearance from intake to booster?

The gap comes back when it is cold. Tightens up after driving. I'm going to double check my mounts for tightness once this weather warms up a bit.

Lots of spin and feathering the throttle is needed in this 23 degree weather.

I also snugged up my charge pipe clamps. Pressure tested the system again and didn't see any bubbles foaming up anywhere. :D

He's on 91 octane from what I remember, so I'd guess 12psi?

Car's looking good. Real tough.

Wheel spin. Clutch is a southbend good for 700ft/lbs if I remember correctly.

Good thinking! Thanks!

I'm going to crank the boost up. I want to be in the 500s but have reliability.
