Any ideas why my m42 will sometimes not do anything after is has run for a while. What I mean is when you turn the key on, the lights in the dash turn on and the pump primes. But the car acts the same as a car that you have to push the clutch in to start. You turn the key and get nothing from the starter. Any ideas? Could it be a relay of some kind?

I agree with Danny all the way, Todd is the man. I have ordered a butt load of stuff from him for my build. He is also great on advice. Are we all running about the same setup?
Stock M42 motor
good and tight manifold
t3/t4 turbo
Custom built pnp MS by Todd
looking to run around 8-12psi
Any more pics of other builds?

Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / Blow off valve ???

Thanks for the comments. I'm going to use a BOV, it's a HKS. What I still need is a picture or more info on where to place it when running a AFM. Any help?

Does anyone have a pic of this set up for me to see? All of the ones I have seen have a custom intake manifold.

So right out of the intake do the BOV and then the AFM? What do you mean assuming AFM after the turbo? The turbo is on the other side of the engine.

Blow off valve befor the AFM allways assuming you have the afm after the turbo ... if you are good with components you can even do a crude tune with the AFM if you open it up and play with the door flaper...Unfortanly when your using the Rising rate regulator there is a dead spot (Lean out) from 1-3 psi and playing with the AFM can almost eliminate the dead spot but only do this if your realy confident with your work

So the plan is to just take the cone filter off the intake side and install it on the turbo inlet. Take the intercooler piping right off the AFM and install the blow off valve right after that. Will that work ok? Most all of the pics I see of M42 turbo set up's must be using standalone, because they have no AFM.

Hi, have a project going on a 1991 318IC. I have so far a t3/t4 hybrid turbo, good & tight manifold, 12:1 FMU, FMIC. I plan on running between 5-8 psi with this setup. My question is this...I have heard that running a AFM on this setup that I don't run a blow off valve. Is this true? Any help or advice would be great.
