E28 535i turbo build.

Piecing together a kit is going to be a pain in the ass. Good luck. Keep track of how much you spend. Id like to know and what it puts down on the dyno. Also make sure you get a 2500 stall converter or its going to be pretty pointless with yout factory auto. Just to clarify todd(tcd) broke 2 auto trans before he swapped to a manual.

getrag 260
If a g260 would mate, wouldnt a ZF from a later e36?
Much stronger transmission anyways... but you have to worry about a custom driveshaft at that point

You sure? TCD's turbo 535i has an auto, unless they haven't updated their website. I plan on switching to a getrag 265 here eventually.
No i just make these things up LoL. When john moliter was talking about me knowing a guy in m30 turbos besides my own he was talking about Todd owner of TCD. He is a good friend of mine and use to live in Milwaukee up till about a year ago. So yes I am very familiar with his set up and car. Also he doesnt even have a m30 anymore and hasn't had one in over a year. He now swapped in a LSX single turbo into his e28.

Drive shafts are super easy to make.

Didn't know, I was only verifying, because their webpage said differently. But thank you.

Lol, Any shop can cut off one end, and put on a diffferent end. It's not too hard.

No problem. I have also never turboed a car. I am interested in doing it though. I found this link very useful. I know its different engine, but its well worth the read.

DIYPNP is alright, if you know what you're doing. Alot of performance shops hate megasquirt, just a heads up. But good shit dude. Also, a HX40, is way to big for your M20. I'm pretty sure the M30 would have a hard time spooling it. Unless you go an entirely built motor. Which is big bucks. My build is on the bench at the moment. A few things came up sadly.
