Here we go. TRM Stage II setup.

[jasonslackisrad]

Found this on the forums, couldn't resist.

Looks like my m3 is going turbo. Going to have all the piping re-finished and Probably do the install in the next month or 2.

I was going to go Supercharged, but after all the reading and research, you guys convinced me turbo is the way to go. So thanks to all of you for spending my money :)

Check it out.

The details.

70lb injectors
Flow through MAF w/ connector & wiring
aluminum charge piping
intercooler
SPA exhaust manifold (port matched to gasket)
TRM Motor Mount
SPA turbo (new as of this August- less than 5k miles on the turbo)
full custom exhuast w/ dynomax muffler and race cat
HKS BOV
stainless braided line for turbo oil feed and hardware to T into filter line
wastegate & vacuum hoses
rubber couplers and clamps for piping

Here was the thread.

Mike at TRM has been fantastic with quick answers on any questions i had. Customer service to someone who is buying second hand is something i never see anymore. So, big ups to him.

Ill document the install when it gets near.

Psyched.

Oh, pic of the car its going to be on.

Spend a few hundred blasting and powdercoating and it will look pretty while making your car go fast.

[mcoupemindy]

What turbo is that? Good choice going with TRM.

[milKt]

Rust never sleeps
but your speed will make thems guys weeps.

Congrats

[jasonslackisrad]

Yep. Gonne get it all cleaned up and pretty. Thinking black textured powder to keep it looking as close to factory as possible.

Its a SPA turbo. Will be running 8 psi wastegate managed. See how that feels for a while.

Gonna be fun.

[mcoupemindy]

Which SPA Turbo? If it's the 7000M, it's going to spit its milKt out over 8psi.

[jasonslackisrad]

Heres the turbo.

Mikes customer service can't be beat! He is for real! Great choice o.p. You will have tons of fun with this! Bolt on, and boost!

[jasonslackisrad]

It is a 7000M. I don't know what you mean by spit its milk tho.

It's going to giggle at only 8psi. That turbo deserves 20psi+. See my build thread in my signature for more info on what it can do.

NONONO don't give him any ideas... Just let him be happy please... telling him to turn it up will only result in his never ending boost addiction! SAVE HIM! Keep him innocent!

They say the hardest step is buying the drugs. I'm afraid we have lost one to the boost addiction.

OP,
I believe those GREEN TOP injectors are the FORD Motorsports 42 lb'ers.

It looks as if he (the seller) didn't know any better.
The 42's will get you started,
but prep for a step up to the next level.

Awesome start man. Good luck with it.

How does trm deal with obd2 emissions regulations?

Lol. IC...

School me on this one guy
o2 'Readyness' aswell? Assuming op runs an efficient cat...

[Z3speed4me]

Yes once you taste boost you want more!
42s will not last long to satisfy the craving.....trust me.

Yuh huh. I live in one of the most emissions strict areas and I have passed with the TRM goodness. Feel free to stop over my build thread (OP too) and ask as many questions as you want.

Whatever way the OP goes, he will have a rocketship.

You're right. they are the 42 LB injectors. I thought 60 was overkill for 8psi. So yes, as you said. this will get me started.....hah

[circa]

I am so glad you chose to keep the car and boost it! This is going to make your car even more epic!!! :excited:

[Colby Colbs]

Need 60's :devillook
OP congrats on the build you will be in love dont worry! You are doing the right thing!

[Z3speed4me]

60's for who me? Or OP...bc I am getting them soon enough.

[jasonslackisrad]
