TCD turbo

[Ted K]

I have a 90 535im and have been thinking of a new car. My son says I should just turbo mine. Dose anyone know one someone with one of their turbos? I have read a few of you have turbos what are your thoughts about them?

one of the guys i work with has a tcd kit on his e28, seems to work well and hasn't blown up with some serious thrashing

[Ted K]

Thanks for the info.

DEFINITELY do a search on "TCD Turbo" and "Turbo" in general in these forums. It has been discussed... esp the threads by Jay535i.

TCD is an okay setup. I personally am piecing my own together I would rather spend a little more and a higher quality product. Thier turbo kits are made for bolt on which is nice no fabrication but wheres the fun in that.

I drool over the TCD kit regularly. It's at the top of my to-buy list.

Unfortunately it's gonna take me two years just to pay for the have-bought list :(

TCD Stage 1 kit is not too shabby

[Ted K]

Thanks all. I am looking into a stage 2 kit from them. Here is the last note from them. I can get into this power.

The e34 is one of our most popular applications. I have e34 customers
in PA, two in MA, three near Toronto and a few out west. It's a great
car with boost. Stage 1 = 290rwhp @ 8psi and Stage 2 = 340rwhp @ 12psi
A clutch kit cost $449. You'll want to consider a lighter flywheel at
$175 and fuel pump at $125. I would need the car for 2 weeks

Ted - I know todd is a great guy and all, but Andrew only saw 265 rwhp on the stage 1

[Ted K]

Jon- That's why I asking some questions from those who will know. Is this Andrew Cohn? How much boost does he have? Is this Why is his a little lower then Todd says? Is Todd estimates a little high ya think? Looks like we have similar cars.

[Ted K]

Is your system a kit or one you put together? Looks like you have done a lot of work on it. Are you trying for 1200whp? How will you keep other things from breaking and still be able to drive it.?
