I've been looking at vf setups since I got my e34. One day...

[Rsully70sev]

Yea a stage one set up seems like a great option. Low, reliable psi, easier install than a turbo route, tuning is included, and 240hp to 341hp.

edit: they're also rebuildable unlike others, and upgradable to stage 2 (aftercooler, etc) if you want more boost down the line.

[Albuquerque30]

That's exactly my thinking. I want something that's going to add a decent amount of power, not be a headache to piece together, and fairly easy to install. Plus, you can't beat being able to upgrade it down the line.

Just hit a dear driving my friends car on HWY 9. Luckily we weren't going fast and the car only sustained minor damage to the front right corner.
We are okay. Sucks I have to fork out a deductible :(

[Alberthype]

Also down for a meet, if I don't end up working on the car or working in general.

Sucks man, sorry to read it. Which side did it happen on? Saratoga or Santa Cruz side of 35? There's been a lot of em lately, just chillin on the Santa Cruz side near the look-out.

Those of you with an s50/s52 what oil weight are you using? My engine is ticking like a bitch. I'm running Mobil 1 15w-50. Think imma go wit rotella 5w-40. Ticking is coming from the injector side. Already rebiuild the injectors and made sure the spark plugs were tight.

I run Total Racing 10w50. I was running total 5w40, but I got a little lifter noise.

Driving over to a friend's house and my speedo, odo, and trip meters stop working. Why does my car do these things to me? Search function, please tell me that this is a small and easily fixed problem.

95% chance that's a fuse. #10 off the top of my head but I'm not sure.
