Pictures of my personal setup producing around 270-280whp@14-15psi on pump gas

Intercooled, 60Lb injectors, Motronic tuned, T3/T4 hybrid china turbo rebuilt with garret seals, internal wastegate, ebay knock-off blow off valve, stock internals(metric blue head studs)

What mods were done to the AFM ?

So you're running standard Motronic just remaped? Thanks

bmwconnect, do you have pictures of the underside? just curious about the wastegate clearance!

Afm is not modded... I opened it up to check the spring and pention meter wiper arm condition and yes it's the Motronic 1.7.2 with my tune

I have none at this time but waste gate is internal anyway so there wouldn't be much to see... next time its up in the air I will gladly take some shots for ya though

here is some pulls with 15psi and conservative ignition timing so at 3800rpm to 7000rpm it's at 16degs advance....When I run 20degs advance it's much quicker then those videos and if I advance to 23 degs I get some mild detonation so 19-20 degs is a good point for 91 octane
