    Default Back on the road with a turbo :)...[pics]

    So after a long wait my car is finally back on-road. Still not running properly, need bigger injectors and i think megasquirt is the way to go. Runnng a Garrett GT32, front mount intercooler, 2:1 RRFPR, custom made 2.5" straight through exhaust + custom manifold. Got a manual boost controller on the way which should help control boost. Need to get some heat shielding in as the coil + spark leads are getting way too hot. Was thinking of the Megasquirt version1 to run bigger injectors. How easy is it to rig up and tune in? and how effective do you think it'd be?

    Default Nice!!!

    Sweet setup! Looking at your car I saw that you have side marker lights. How difficult are they to install and hook up to the turn sigs? Mine is a 90 535i and didn't come with the side marker lights.

    I'd imagine it would be pretty simple Dr. Bimmer. Buy the fender with the hole, buy the light, and wire it with the sidemarkers. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Without the light looks cleaner imo

    mine came standard with those lights (i just upgraded to clears). I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to install some though

    no idea yet, its running way too lean though, need bigger injectors and some sort of fuel-only computer perhaps to get it up and running properly, then i'll chuck it on a dyno.
