He's using his blow-thru fenderwell set-up dialed right into the turbo.

Thanks Larry! It felt pretty surreal in a way. Last we chatted you were pretty happy with your Evoms set-up. Any plans on further upgrading the turbo?

With 4 cars I find myself preserving the Turbo more than driving it . I figure I have time as the miles are still low given the car's age. It still blows me away. Even my PDK car has low miles too and I just bought a custom ordered M3 . I can only drive one car at a time but the variety (PDK, the larger coupe, and the Turbo monster) makes for an interesting variety .

It will be nice to hear your imprssions of what might seem like a new car in many ways . You've placed a lot of thought and effort into your dream car . I am so happy for you !!!

Thanks Larry. Congrats on the M3. What a great sedan and it certainly complements your stable. I would say this upgrade is 65% of what I really wanted (Todd knows) but it's a step in the right direction. So we'll see how this goes and when I can afford to revist the situation I probably will.

Given how well thought out every single step you take is, I'm not really surprised you went down this road.
TK is elite and I can think of none more deserving for his attention than you Dave.

Congrats and may she exceed all your expectations.

Many thanks Antonis. You should definitely visit if you get the chance. Well worth the trip. Make sure you have a 4-wheel drive to navigate the driveway--lol.

Coming from you my friend, it's much appreciated. I'm sure I will be thrilled with the outcome plus it leaves more room to grow. I gotta feeling you're not too far behind...

Thats quite a shift Dave. I'll be keeping a watch out on further developments and look forward to hear your impressions on the finished result.

Edit. What clutch is going/gone in?

Now y'all know where I got my turbos from! Thanks again Dave!

And what do you mean 65% of your goal??? What is your goal, Batmobile fast?

Thanks for the info on BOV and wastegates, that makes sense. I don't know if a BRV is something different or just another word for BOV. Turbo tech is pretty interesting.

The countdown is probably on for your car coming home. Can't wait to hear your impressions! And don't worry, it's only money ha ha.

Good luck with the build. Should be crazy fast.

Faster than Batmobile. It's out of my reach right now but I anticipate that this system will live up to beyond my expectations.

Funny you should mention that. Evidently UPS refuses to drive down that road but the FedEx guy likes to haul a$$ down it. I guess the commercials are true.
