After another run last night and changing out the fuel filter it is bogging even under light acceleration now. I'm thinking it might be my FPR. I do need to get a WB on this thing. I'm just guessing now.

I'll post some more pic after I get this issue worked out.

one of my good friends had an e30. the best it ever ran was on 19# injectors and an fmu. once he went megasquirt it was all downhill.

I have heard tons of horror stories using megasquirt. Defienlty not a perfect setup. But it is cheap. The big boys are using VEMS or SMT-6. But your looking at a $1000 plus just for the hardware. I will run this setup until I get bored with it, then see what happens.

Yep, price and demand is a bitch. If more people turboed their bmw's the cost of the kits would be less. But kits are for pussies. I just wish the manifold prices would go down ($450-550 for a LOG!!!).

Nope not the gituar guy.

I once watched a guy wreck an e30 into a pole. Not as cool as boosting one. Looks good man.
