I am sitting around waiting for UPS to deliver my new (to me) turbo kit. I've been updating the damn tracking page like every 10 minutes, it's 3PM and UPS still hasn't shown up. You would think they would want to get the 150 lbs box off the truck first! I wonder if my previously all stock 95 M3 miles has any idea the abuse it's about to take. The next 20k miles will be completely different from the first 100k!


Thanks,

This is one of davidtm5's old kits and it has finally arrived. I'm very surprised, seems to be little to no damage from shipping. I imagined 150 lbs of scrap showing up;

good to see it get there on time for you
the only things you need to get a roll of plastic hose from Home Depo to run your methanol line from trunk to intake pipe
its a black garden 1/4 hose used for the sprinkler

what are you tuning it with?

Thanks for all the comments guys.


what are you tuning it with?

It came with a AA Stage 2 tune for 550cc injectors. Although, I really want to try out the Miller WAR chip, so I can fool around with some self tuning. I figure I'll put it back together exactly the way David was running it and then start tweaking it from there, based on performance.

David claimed low 400's rwhp... that sounds like alot of fun.
