Why not go with AA? Hmm, because the kit costs more than half of what my entire car is worth. No thanks.

I mean I can piece together a more custom, more powerful kit for cheaper. I'm looking into sponsorships with some companies - my friend who is going FI on his 328 is doing this at the same time, and we are in the same car team so.. that would be a good oppritunity to get a company name out there.

Anyways, the only way to get good numbers out of a low boost is to go for a stand alone system. 8 pounds of boost off of a supercharger can put 380+ to the ground, easily. You can't beat a Tec 3. Especially since it's a plug and play and only takes 15 minutes to install. But you already know this, just another friendly suggestion.

If you think AA is the shit, then perhaps you need to talk to your friend Dado. (He's just one of many.)
Have you heard bad things about AA? Please share if so, I'd like to be more educated on this.

Lets just day that I have never hear of a 'trouble free' system from AA. Everyone that I have personally talked to face to face or via PMs have had lots of little problems with the system and some have had big problems with their system. I know that some of this is expected putting F/I on a NA car, but there's a limit to it. I'll just say that some of the AA cars have well over $100K into them and that's all just for upgrades. But I guess if you got it, spend it.

And the best (cheapest) way to do 400 at the wheels is a Dinan S/C kit, a smaller pulley, water injection and a Tec 3.

I was going to say, have you ever heard of ANY trouble-free turbo system on a BMW?

I'm getting nervous.

awesome, a thread about what you plan on doing instead of what has already been done.

Um, sorry if my thread doesn't comply with your little mental rule book, it's times like these when people usually tell you to click the little "back" button, you wasted more time typing a pointless reply to my "pointless" thread.

I'm just letting people like you know that the times when they could talk shit about my "slow" car are nearing an end.

why? i get enjoyment out of replying... im not wasting my time. might as well give my opinion since i already am in the thread. better to add something then to just have clicked back without saying what i wanted to say. im sorry if my opinion doesnt comply with what you want to hear, but thats what i feel like posting.

people like me? i never talked shit on your car specifically. maybe your model in general, but not your car. i really dont give a shit if you put a jet engine in your car, i just think its retarded to sit here and talk shit yourself about something you dont even have yet. maybe if you were in the process of putting it together on your car then it would be less worthless but you really have nothing to show for your claim and are indeed talking shit yourself.
