If anyone is interested in doing a partial trade for my e30 and your e21 please let me know. Thanks

Vehicle:

Custom Turbocharged/Intercooled 325i
120,xxx original miles
Black vinyl interior with charcoal carpet

Performance Specs @ 5psi: (using a g-tech pro accelerometer with 3000lb weight)

0-60mph: 5.6sec (All season 225/50/15 tires)
1/4 mile: 14.0sec @102mph (would run much faster on a grippy track)
Horsepower: 242whp (3rd/4th gear pull with 7psi max boost showing)
(just an estimate although the g-tech has been pretty accurate for me in the past)

Turbocharger System Specs:

-T3/T4 Turbo w/ .63a/r exhaust housing, .50a/r TO4E compressor with 57 trim wheel size capable of easily 300hp

-304 Thick Wall Stainless steel tubular turbo adapter with external wastegate provision, CNC'd custom flanges TIG welded(jdturbocharging design)

-3" full mandrel bent downpipe with high temp heat wrap and O2 sensor bung welded on.

-Full 3" exhaust with strait through perforated Dynomax resonator and strait throgh perforated Muffler with 6" outlet to quiet things down, but not sacrifice any hp over an open downpipe. (still very mean sounding just cruising around (video)

-24# Brand new bosch injectors

-10:1 Vortech Fuel Management Unit

-Colder NGK spark plugs (2-steps colder with a spare set included with car)

-Bleed style homemade boost controller

Engine Specs:

-Stock M20 B25 Internals with 120K original miles

-Waterpump/ T-belt changed at 95K, so about 30K miles before it needs a new one to be safe.

-Castrol Syntec 20w50 used since car was purchased (just changed again 50 miles ago along with filter)

-Oil Pan Has custom TIG welded diamondplate skidplate reinforcement to protect from any scraping that may occur.

-8mm Blue Silicone Ireland Engineering performance spark plug wires

The T03/TO4 turbo should put out over 300 HP.
How come you dont?

I would be interested in the turbo setup if I was did not already have my 2.8 m20 built already.

I've kept the car at 5 psi because I dont want to put too much strain on my stock internals. If I kept the car is was going to up the psi this summer and installed meagsquirt for the fuel.

With the turbo as large as it is, and with the other items:

Huge 50MM External Wastegate (easily controls boost without creeping)

-Huge 3"x12"x24" Bar/Plate Intercooler (flow as much power as you can put at it)

You need low Compression forged pistons and a forged crank and your car would be awesome! 5 Psi is not too much
