It all worked great! Thanks again. The car drives about 100% better. Anyone who insists Motronic is OK is a fool, just like I was before I installed the MS

Yes it is. I put the 8 lb spring in and took the Begi out. I'm going to use an EBC soon.

I'm still on the fence about ebc vs. mbc & which is better. I've done some reading & asked questions but things are still gray for me.

Please report back with your thoughts when done.

Ummm, yeah....this car is kinda fast. Drives like a grocery getter....and then you hit the go-pedal. Holee shit.

Megasquirt FTW! We are getting ready to MSII and turbo my buddies e21 m10. Big boost!

That's great to hear! I also just switched to MS and would never go back tI motronic! Thanks again Peter for all the help! If anyone is looking to go MS then PF tuning is the way to go!

PF Tuning FTW! Glad to see that car finally go MS.

A turbo car without programmable management never lives up to its full potential. Have fun tuning!

Well... with a mbc you can not do this:
(It's not the smoothest only because i'm lazy)
19-27psi.

It's only a $50 mod anyone can solder in.

Who needs a cam to be rev happy?

turbodan · Post by **turbodan** » May 17, 2012 8:10 PM

Shit, you don't even need boost control to do that:

Thats 12 -> 20 psi on just a TiAL 38mm.

Shadow · Post by **Shadow** » May 17, 2012 8:35 PM

When you DON'T want it to do that is another thing.

Lurker27 · Post by **Lurker27** » May 17, 2012 8:48 PM

Giga, gonna need to requisition some info on that setup - 27 psi @_@

Ironically after I yelled at you for not using EBC my EBC is now not working

Just bought an EBC. I'm stoked.

I know this is a little old, but since you are in Richmond, as am I...I'm thinking of going MS as well for my twin turbo'd 535i. I've never touched the stuff....what can I expect? What the hell do I even need?

Would you be willing to let me look over your setup? I have a shop with a dyno...wana see what the car makes? I'd love to have another car to compare mine to whenever it finally gets running.

I'll be at Summit Point for Hyperfest, but I will certainly find you next week and stop in and introduce myself. And I was serious, if you want to throw the car on the dyno I'll do it for free if I can pick your brain on things I need for my own cars.

My M5 needs some love as well....maybe we can work out some trades of sorts. My S38 is very unhappy.

S38's are fickle like that hot crazy girl we all dated once.

Awesome! I just got the EBC installed and working today, i've been tuning the higher boost levels on my way to / from work. I'm going to wreck if I keep doing it on the street, it's definitely Dyno time!
