    Radowski fabrication is now 5Bar Performance

    I just finished moving the last of my equipment into our new shop. We are still located in Linden,NJ about 1/2 mile away from the old shop. Our new place shares a building with a motorcycle performance shop so I hope to turbo some bikes for them in the future! The building has three automotive lifts and several bike stations including a motorcycle dyno. We are only a few blocks away from my friend/tuner Sean Ivey's new shop where he has an AWD dynojet dyno.

    We are a full service facility offering the following:
    custom and bolt-on turbo/supercharger setups
    custom engineering/fabrication
    chassis repair/reinforcement
    mechanical work

    Our short term goals are as follows:
    Make the first 9 second pass with my silver E36 M3
    Get started on the E46 turbo kit
    Continue to develop new parts for the 335 and newer models.

    That's it for now. We will post updates as they come including some shop pics.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Lots.
    Mike, I meant to ask on the phone, whats the significance of 5Bar (aside from being ~75psi)?

    Talk to you soon.

    Congratulations Mike! Great things to come!

    Good luck getting into the 9s. I know you have the short time skills!

    Mike has been very helpful and considerate to me over the phone. Great guy to deal with.
    Where have I been? Astral projecting.
