~ 9 psi I should be somewhere near 300hp. @ 16 psi I should be around 400 :)

Kick ass. I saw your thread on your MS build. And your vids of burn outs :)

Good luck with the tuning.

Nope -

the turbine noise is out of the 3" straight downpipe dump :D

awsome! wish i could hear that turbo :DLooking schmick Dude, take lots of pics tommorrow and be sure to post your tuning numbers... there is heaps of interest as you may well know.

Hopefully you'll be driving it (slowly) down to a dyno soon! I only say slowly so the chances of an accident are absolutely minimised after all that work.

It's really great to see some people getting creative with their e34s (Note the recent threads by Mr Project and what Whit is up to with M102/6s and isn't saying much about yet). Along with some of the truly superb e28s going around these days, yours could be well and truly in the Hall of Fame soon.

You sure have the 'Art of running an older BMW' well pinned down over there. FANTASTIC Work Jon.

Well done Jon and thanks for the great write ups along the way, we all appreciate them. And now the last question, are you planning on putting it on a track? I am just wondering what you are going to do with an engine that now has twice the HP...

Can't wait to see/hear the videos! The breadth and depth of mechanichal knowledge and skill that you guys have makes this "noobe" feel like I'm pretty out-of-my-league in this forum... but I can't help but be sucked in by it all!
