: Paul,

: Though I plan to build a 'starter' turbo system based on a 320i engine (bolted into a 2002 b/c its lighter), I'm also doing this to get as much disucssion of turbos onto the boards. If you would, flip over to the 2002 board and add any comments you have to the growing discussion there.

: I favor the idea of a low boost (5-7psi) system to learn on, then building a 325is'ed turbo 2002 to eat Vettes and Vipers. WHY? NOTHING BUT A HASSLE TO GET IT TO HANDLE, MY 320I RUN'S WITH A NEW CORVETTE C5 NOW, MY GOAL IS TO STAY WITH A VIPER. 20PSI SHOULD DO IT.

: BTW, what compression ratio/boost combo are you running and conservatively how much horse power are you making? 7.0:1 WITH 13PSI MAKES ABOUT 230-250HP. I HAVE A SET OF 550CC INJECTORS TO INSTALL ONCE I GET THE IGNITION TIMING SORTED OUT.

: Also, what turbocharger are you using, and if applicable, what car did you scavenge it from? T3 60/.63 A/R FROM A MUSTANG SVO. I PLAN ON UPGRADING TO A T4/T3 WHICH I SPECED OUT FOR RUNNING 20PSI. (APROX. 300HP)

PAUL
