    I need someone (maybe you) to convince me that I should just go ahead and not look  back. I already have the Megasuirt and wideband setup, It would be a stupid simple deal to just slap it on there and run a couple oil lines and change the tune.  Honestly I just worry about heat, being able to do HPDEs reliably, and getting annoyed with lag.

    I run hpde's with my turbo m3 (s50) and have had zero issues to speak of as far as heat soak and lag. At the end of a 20summer min sessions my water temp may reach 200 at most. Our cars are track beasts no matter how you ook at it, thats why BMW's populate most of the track events at RA, but now why not have the hp to run with the zo6's, gtr's, gt3's. Even if you are a great wrench it is not a 1 weekend job. Let me know if I can help!! And I did posts mods in the new member intro if you would like to take a look.

            Who'd you get your turbo setup from? Or did you piece it together? Only reason I ask is because someone up in the valley bought my buddies entire 2.7i turbo setup, and that thing was epic.

                        I prefer to keep things simple and cheap. And I prefer a smooth torque-band. Turboing a car is kind of juvenile in my opinion. But I'm 34, so there you go.

                              Vome drive my car and tell me you dont want turbo. And for the old farts it can help with gas mileage just dont run it hard. An tune for it.

                              Twin turbo less lag!!!

                                  This.

                                  Also, if you do decide to turbo it, don't do twin turbo, that's way to much work for no gain. Just do an single.

                                      Twin turbo is not a good idea. However, a compound turbo setup has many gains and advantages=)

                                        Twin turboing a BMW M20 or even a 2jz, is kinda pointless, unless you go compound. But for a reliable dailyable car, I would not go twin. Just single it and call it a day.
