What I will need for a custom turbo kit......Kromex?

[AS007]

I was wondering if anyone knows what exactly I will need for a complete turbo kit on a 2000 328Ci? Some things:

GT30R Turbo (other GT35R)
Fuel Injectors
Intercooler
Blow-off valve
External Wastegate
Turbo exhaust manifold
Turbo downpipe
Random pipes

I am not sure where I can purchase all of the things I need if anyone has any info on this let me know because I have the money for the turbo kit and the people to tune it, I just need to do it now.

pretty sure u are forgetting the hardest part, the ECU tuning.

best of luck, but try the Forced Induction Forum.

a little i suppose, but i didn't have that in mind when i added that to my sig. (feel free to hit me up on aim if you wanna discuss this further)

now back to the mystery of turbocharging an E46 :D

a lot of money and patience

$20K should be a nice start, just to make sure that you've got the cash for any eventualities. If you're really serious about it, I would hit up Gilb3rt0. He and at least one other member had a guy custom build kits for them. You could drive up there drop off your car and fly back and pick it up when the install is complete... :dunno:

If you dont have any plans on management than dont even waste your time. I was thinking the same way you were. Best thing to invest in is some type of tuning.

Call Azevedo Motorsports they could custom make it for you if your not doing the work yourself. Theyre at 732 east st georges ave. Linden NJ 908-925-3157. By the way what part of florida are you at?

I live in Clearwater, FL close to Tampa. Ft.Myers isnt that far I would love to see your ride when you move down. Also what do you mean management, what would I need for that? Possibly a standalone ECU if that is what you are talking about?

[AS007]

I talked to them at the shop where your car is being tuned, and he metioned that the standalone ECU that they put in your car cost $2,600 is that right, I have never seen one that high. Then again I have never seen a standalone ECU for a BMW but the ones I have seen for many other cars were around $1k. Where did you get the ECU? And parts?

[Gilb3rt0]

Yea it actually did. Im going with Tec3r I hear it works with our double vanos. I even contact sias tuning to verify this. They assured me it would. Im waiting for the management to come in than I could have some fun blowing up my motor. Hopefully it wont. I also hear Unichip offers a fully programmable piggy back for our cars that also works with the double vanos. That is a bit cheaper I would look into it if I were you.
