Forced Performance Turbochargers
Just stumbled across these while poking around online...
Read reviews from the DSM community (and some bimmer guys) and they all rave about them. Thought I'd post it up for anyone interested. http://store.forcedperformance.net/m..._Code=Turbo-FP Specifically the FP HTA GT3076 and the FP HTA GT3582R This post was informative - http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...71&postcount=1 And just for giggles, a photo of the 35R from Garret vs the 3582R HTA. They also offer a 3586R with an oversized compressor. http://www.turbo-garage.com.ua/shopi...vs-35HTA-2.jpg |
So basically, it's like the water pump upgrade... just for a turbo instead :rofl:
|
aahahahaha ROFL
Real funny JinDesu! |

Garrett is now releasing their own lineup of Billet compressor wheels...
I have a 35R upgraded to a billet 62... |
FP is a top notch shop with some of the best turbo knowledge and testing (former DSM owner). They aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for with a turbo.

Speaking of billet turbos :)

Those are the new Garrett GTX GT42s? NICE! :D:
I'd give my right nut for a HTA billet wheel on a GT35 located right about where my battery is right now :D: |

Well you could put one there, it just wouldn't be attached to anything. :dunno:

None that support the AccessPORT currently. The PTP, SFR, and Esmeril kits are all top mount kits, but they don't work with the AP. If one of those kits was offered with a proper MAF setup for AP tuning I imagine it would sell quite well.

Is it up and running yet? If it works with the AP, I know I'm interested in a similar setup.
|
It will work with the AP. The custom build took into consideration of what tuning management is going to used.
It should be up soon and thanks to Turblown for thread whoreing ! U r a true friend !:yesnod: |
where is the upper intake manifold?

there is NO reason a top mount cannot work with the AP for tuning. there is plenty of room between a filter located outside the engine bay(think AEM/MS style) and the intake of the compressor to put the MAF sensor... (and to do it properly
you just have to be willing to extend the wiring, and go for a custom made pipe or two |

No offense intended, but I'm not interested in "will" it work, but rather "did" it work...

And I don't doubt that, in fact I agree completely, I just want to see someone do it right first :mdrmed:

Finally have one going together; GTX4294R with a Tial 1.0 housing.:yesnod:
( and no, this isn't for 09Factor ) |
that thing looks like a beast in the engine bay! haha
|
That thing IS a beast! What are the horsepower targets on that thing?
Seems like that's an awfully humongous turbo. |
