<![CDATA[Turbo m52 obd2]]>I decided to join to let you know there are things going on in the Midwest of the "BMW" variety.

I bought a 1996 328i in May with the intent to turbo it... Which has been done now, I'm kind of regretting not posting my journey on here now but it is basically done.

I'll post updates with pics and vids to get some creative juices going.

if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Had it cranked up to 16 psi due to unfriendly boost air. I did a 1st gear launch and heard a little pop and saw black pieces skipping down the road behind me.  

Radiator is ok one decent dent but no drips, will confirm tomorrow.

It appears that the engine torqued too much and caught the shroud and blew up, not the classic fan explosion.

time to install the electric fan I bought over a year ago

Do I hear a windshield for Dinan badge trade going on here?

Probably not. I might have a less traditional way to remove it, likely just cut the whole windshield frame from the car haha.

If you want to attempt to pull the windshield from my car you can just have it for free.

Idk if it's worth the hassle. Hate to get it most of the way out then brake it.

Man that's a bummer, at least your windshield is fine!

@wasnt m3 do you still have the hood from the sedan you're parting?

Hood was sold the day he helped me pull it off, unfortunately.

I helped him take the hood off so I should get a discount or something. If I recall it had an issue but, the car is a dumpster fire at this point.

It has a crack in it but not the full on windshield smash, my impromptu wiper install that is not clocked properly saved it.

I bought a brand new oem one for my z3m and it lasted all of a year before it cracked at which point I upgraded to a bimmerworld unit.

It almost sounds like the wastegate sticks until there is enough mass flow to force it open

It's different, but there is one problem once I put the new turbo on I get boost creep. Whenever I go full throttle below 3k it will spike to 12psi when boost initially builds, wastegate is 8psi. It will drop back to 8 after but causes some jerking and odd a/f ratio. Both turbos were egay turd blows, but the ARs and trim on these don't always match up to advertised. So basically will be going to an external wastegate, which means a new exhaust manifold unless I weld it to the current one that is cast or the turbo exhaust housing which is also cast. Time will tell

Also did this today

lost power and car ran like crap, got it home figured it was just an intercooler hose that blew off but it was this guy. Might upgrade this but have a few spares so we will see how long the next few last. Out of all the places it would've gave out I didn't expect it to be there.

Once hes gone, put a plastic owl in there. I hear they scare away ferrets. Or was it pigeons? Either way, worth a shot. 

Image result for plastic owl
