Had some free time at work today so I got to ripping off the tints. Got the two doors done in about an hour with a heat gun, razor, and adhesive remover. Tried windex and razor first but it was just breaking off in little pieces
I'm going to retint it I'm thinking 40/20 front/back

Yes it's a front mount sprayed black so it's not very noticeable

Do you have an intercooler? I imagine with the intake setup running like that right next to the exhaust your intake temps have got to be pretty high killing some of your power.

Been a while since I owned a tial, but I think all you need is the spring and a new fire ring.

Only servicable part I can find is the diaphragm so I'm guessing that's it, I'll also need 2 2 bolt gaskets. Since the boost gauge is working it looks like I'm holding boost just fine. I guess it could be bleeding off boost during acceleration but I have a feeling the car is just like this by nature

Anyone know what rebuilding a Tial or turbo smart wastegate involves? This sts WG is supposed to be rebranded Tial and I want to open it up and throw in the 10lb Spring but don't know what I'll need putting it back together

Sts is or was a Utah company, about 60 miles away from my house

That license plate ..... was that thing in Idaho Falls? Bit of an odd place for something like that.

The guy I bought it from had family or something in Idaho but lives here in salt lake. Probably did it for emissions reasons

When was it ever OK to install the Volvo lip? And I recall a thread of a guy using landscaping border material for a front lip, too. Please stop the madness. Spend the $80 bucks and get a real front.

At any rate, welcome. Dyno?

lmao i think it looks ok, i like the alpina lower valance/lip but $$$. maybe i can find a rep. not yet, what gear do you dyno these cars in? ill be on the lookout for a dyno day

Rip that POS Turbo setup off and replace it with a proper manifold mounted setup.

Doesn't seem helpful, but rear mount turbos are for lazy people. You will never get reasonable spool out of that setup unless you were running a small block v8.

Will look deeper into your post later tonight, and possibly add a more insightful response.

That's definitely not out of the question. Car is fun and decently fast but man the lag kills me. My 135i has full boost by less than 3000 rpm. I'm thinking I might just try bigger WG spring and see how that feels, I rather max out the current setup since it would be less costly and the hardware is already there. Car was cheap enough that converting to top mount wouldn't kill me but I rather work with what I have plus it's unique.
