So I ran out and bought an O2 sensor today. No improvement.
About $600 later I decided to swap in the stock DME, Injectors, and MAF.
and lo and behold , the car runs great?

I'm glad I kept my DME, pink injectors, and MAF
Otherwise, I don't know what I would have done...
To anyone reading this who wants to go turbo. Keep your stock equipment for troubleshooting

Having extra, serviceable, sensors is always a good thing. They should go in a small tool kit for road trips. (Learnt from experience).

Very true.
Been lucky though, this e36 has never left me stranded

Thanks, it's getting there.
Tuner said he could probably get the car running today
I'll be swapping the 60lb injectors, maf, and dme back in
Well see what happened, fingers crossed

So the tuner thinks it's tune related n not hardware ???

The sad part about this all:
I bought this car probably, say 7 years ago. For $5500 with I think 120,000, since then I've put maybe 18,000 miles on it. I've invested 3x what I paid for it

We don't, but were going to try a few things. If we cant get it to work today ill ship him some parts to try. So today it'll either run or we will know why it isn't running.
We would have done this the other day but the wacky fuel pressure postponed it.

Not sure at this point
I bought a spare maf, no change.
I'm betting DME. This would explain all the circuit related codes I was getting
Got them for
Camshaft sensor
Crank sensor
O2 sensor
And I tried 3 different O2's, 2 of which where new out of box and the circuit code still came back

In the end its worth it. It's when you get greedy you can regret. Even then, totally worth it and you won't give it up.

Trying not too.
Was thinking about leaving it NA for awhile
I can slowly build my spare motor, bore it out, low comp pistols, rods, etc for when the time comes

I had a dyno confirmed 450+whp 2010+ Camaro in the shop the other day, now to the general public this is a fast car. Let's face it, a c6 z06 stock is in the same area. I was looking for a vibration under heavy load. This was customers complaint. So, out for a ride. I don't think I could even slow my car down enough to lose to this car. It was a total joke. My point is, push through this crap, take it as experience, knowledge, learning how things work, and enjoy it. Having a car like your building , you should really know how it all works, and this is forcing you to sort it out now. This is a great thing. Cause when you decide to be running upper limits of your setup, and your not all sorted out. That's when things get expensive.
But, like the story above, even then its worth it. Cause it will cost you 50k to even think about getting the thrills your gonna get.
