I know there was a black mechtech turbo one, but he totalled it a while back at Sears Point/Infineon Raceway. Any others?

I haven't seen any other ones around, but why are you asking?
How's the turbo running? You running full boost now? Dyno yet?

Just wondering, it would be cool to say I have the only turbo m roadster in the U.S. No full boost, still trying to get a hold of another pressure plate, my parts distributor gave me the wrong one, so it still slips past 8psi. But I did run my car at the track a couple of times, and it produced 117mph traps with no tuning, .62 bar boost, slipping clutch and 2.2-2.4 60's.

I think there may be a few M Roadster/Coupe's with AA kits around somewhere....

I know there is a coupe or two, but no roadsters that I know of.

Moadster,

What kind of clutch kit are you running?

I think there is a guy w/ a Turbo Z3 Roadster. He was featured in a magazine. He had a 2.8 Z3 and swapped the engine w/ an S52 and turbo'd that. He's pushing a little over 530 rwhp I believe. Anyway if you do a search, you'd probably find one of his posts.

Ya, I've seen that car. It's on boost junkys, but moadster wants to know about m roadsters, not Z3's.

Oops...shoulda read. Well essentially that guy's Z3 has the heart of an M Coupe/Roadster.

UUC stg 2 with really weak pressure plate that is about an inch shorter than it should be.
