    I have heard about those two cars. Supposedly they sit for 13 months a year in a climate controlled garage with a dehumidifier running.

    Yes, and if I had them I would do the same.
    It would take alot of discipline and self control but the end result is 2 mint

    Im lying if I owned them they wouldn't be in the condition they are in.

    This is why I like forced induction so much -- it has the potential to be scary and get you in trouble. My other naturally aspirated car has a boring, long, predictable powerband, but is not nearly as entertaining.

    Its true. I hope I don't get too used to it. I've been dialed in at 16 psi now for a couple weeks and. Have a hard time turning it down.

    The bigger question is, how much punishment can my car take with the milage it has. After pulling the compression test today it seems like it is unscathed.

    But I do want to go at it with your 35r convertible.

    What will happen if i turn the boost to 20-22 psi ?? Will you ?

    You have way better tires Chris and on the street you are a much better driver as im sure you would go right pass me. My 332ic has very poor traction ..

    I've been at 20. When I was changing wastegat springs. I installed 1 bar springs and had the controller only a couple clicks. It crept right up to 20.
    I think its cause I have a 38mm WG. I must say at 20 psi on the highway the car pulls in 5th gear like your in 3rd gear at 15 psi. Awesome feeling.

    22 psi, that maybe pushing my luck. LOL

    Anyone tossed around the concept of supercharging an m10?

    I would not bother supercharging a small displacement motor such as the M10. The supercharger drags on the crank and there just is not massive power to spare. Sure, it will still add power, but it is not very efficient. Car makers have run superchargers on little 2L motors before like the Scion and Mini, but they later switched to turbos on both those cars. I really think turbo is the way to go for the small motors.

    Alright so say I was new to turbo which I am, I am definitely willing to learn and I know how to turn a wrench and whatnot. My question is what stuff is universal for turbo kits and what needs to be fabricated in the case of an m10. I would love to turbo it, but there just obviously isn't a kit and nobody has really posted exactly what is needed.

    Yeah I saw that, tried messaging him to no avail....said he used an ebay turbo.....so he just bought one of those kits and dumped everything but the turbo?

    So he converted to e85 and added a new fuel pump. Is that stuff needed? Also can the stock injectors handle any boost or do they need replacing?

    The trick is the tuning. Figure that out. I have not gotten that far yet, but my first thought is Megasquirt (we have a 75 2002 with M10 that may get a turbo next year).

    The rest is relatively easy although some fabrication work is required.

    I personally would not bother with the ebay turbo kits. I have yet to see anyone do much with one of them. I would piece together the parts, but I know what is required.

    My turbo 99M3 would not want to miss the cool, dense winter air. My naturally aspirated 08M3 with factory 12.0:1 compression also performs best in cold weather. Straight line and cornering traction are less with the snow wheels, but I'd rather be buying the cars I bought to enjoy than some beater that I drive while I dream about driving my M3s again in the spring.

    If my car project budget replenishes, I might think about putting Eagle or K1 or Molnar rods, GT4094R turbo, and CES cutring spacer gasket set on the turbo 99M3 this winter. But nothing is planned and nothing possible before late winter.
