    What do you think of this turbo setup guys?

    I'm kind of new to the forced induction arena, but I have the opportunity to buy a turbo setup for my 1994 325is for a good price. What do you guys think of the following parts? WIll I need to buy anything else (software, injectors, wastegate, etc)? Any advice would be great.

    - Garrett T60 turbo and all associated hardware
    - intercooler with all piping
    - blowoff valve
    - header and downpipe
    - fuel lines
    - boost gauge
    - samco hoses

    Thanks

    The T60 needs an external wastegate I presume.

    Then you need the external wastegate(HKS, Tial, Evolution)

    What size intercooler & who makes it?

    What size piping?

    Does the piping include an intake elbow? If not you need AA's.

    Does it come with an oil line & where does the manifold locate the turbo for the line to the pan?

    What kind of BOV?

    Header? You mean exhaust manifold...what kind? Does it have a wastegate flange?

    You will need injectors & software(Nick G.) on top of what I mentioned.

    LOL, I didn't even notice that! Just got the pics in my email and posted them. The guy advertised it for BMW 325, terrible...

    Yeah, the fact that it is for a 4cyl is scary! Otherwise it would be a nice cast manifold.

    That IC is SUPER tiny! Next to that T60...

    Internal wastegate so no worries there.

    Piping is 2" which is common with smaller kits up to 350hp.

    I don't see an air filter or injectors.

    Well, you already know this kit is not for your car. Mine is! Want to purchase mine? It comes with 36lb injectors. All you need is the software from Nick G. & an AA intake elbow.

    For $2800 I have a few guys that are all saying they are going to buy it but money talks. I have not received a dime from anyone yet.

    Theres no way thats a T-60 in that picture. Its way to small, the wastegate accutator is is almost half the size of the turbo. Plus i don't know any place that sells an internal wastegate on a turbo the size of a T-60 anyway. Looks more like what comes in the Mosselman kit which is either a T-25, or a small T3

    Oh boy! So not only is the manifold for a 4-cyl engine but the turbo isn't even a T60? Then that intercooler is the smallest one I have ever seen! Wait! Is that a turbo kit for one of those little cars your nephew would drive around? I thought those were electric.

    Nice pics diegom6! Love the turbo up top!
