Hey this is a short video for those of you who fail to see it in my project build thread.

It's short and amature video but hey my daughter did the video. I hope to have some better ones over the weekend.

Also here is one of them doing some ghetto dance while i was getting so photos of the car. My daughter is the one in the gray sweater with curly hair. I don't have a clue what dance she is doing but it's something her ghetto cousin taught her i am sure.

Nice... STS turbo BMW six. The videos are nice. BTW, does your car have the valvetronic engine or the throttled one?

Haha that turbo sounds pretty darn great when you flew by

Weird sound man. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have valvetronic.

So how does it run? Any lag?

So how does it run? Any lag?

Well the first week the turbo was installed I had mad lag but this is a big turbo for my setup without engine mods. It's the the T3/T4 60-1 but the T4 60-1. After a few weeks of breaking in the turbo it started making boost just below 3500 plug i had highway gears(2.93s) which i ended up putting a race diff in with lsd 3.91 to get rid of the lag. The only problem i don't make any boost in 1st gear and maybe a 1-3lbs of boost in 2nd but once i hit 3rd gear the boost instantly slams to what every settings I have set. the most i have set the boost at is about 14psi since this is a stock motor with minor head work

Wow, very nice. It's nice to see you follow through after watching this project from back when many were giving you crap and it seemed a few were in disbelief that this would actually come to life. Good for you! Now I'll have to put some better vids of my cars. Unfortunately it's snowing right now.

Flexall

Thanks,
I need to get better videos posted up. This time i will have someone hold the cam that knows what they are doing.
I think i will do a in car pull, rpm, drive by, next to a supercharge M3, other cars, and a from stop to third gear pull. If you guys have any other request let me know and I will try and have it all done within the next week if not a few days from now.

This weekend was my first road trip in the car. I was afraid to drive it outside of the neighborhood just in case something went wrong. Still uncharter territory for me and others so who knows what could go wrong. i took my time not going over 80mph but on the way home in the morning once i get closer to home I am going to open her up to see how much boost i can get with a top speed. Wish me luck

I know what you mean about driving a modded car far from home. When I would test my supercharged 540i I would do it late at night. That way if it broke down it wouldn't be in heavy traffic. I'm very happy with it. Although it is very fast I have to admit that it probably wouldn't hang with all you guys and your turbo boosted m's. It will take down a stock SRT8 Charger, 300c and the Jeep ( on a roll ). I absolutely kill the 5.7 hemi 340hp versions. I hurt the feelings of a guy driving a modded Charger RT lastnight. Bad. The SC'ed 540i is a nice car though and it's very reliable. And I do believe I have one the faster superchared bmw's running around.
I wish I had other seriously modded bmw's to race with but I live in Hemi territory. How do I get one of those cam brackets you were talking about?

Yes that is what i do. I wait until its late at night and run a round the neighborhood but not very far, then i started driving around the city but making sure there is no rush hour going on. This is the first trip out side the city and I actually got into a traffic jam wild heading out last night for over an hour but she had no issues.

I know a SC'ed 540 is making some power since it is already making power since it's a V8 right. I want to see a serious turbo 540 with twin turbos. I bet that is bad ass.

Keep killing those hemi's up north representing the Bimmer world and I bet people will start buying them more. LOL
