Power-wise, there are absolutely no complaints. There is nothing I enjoy more than power oversteer in the top of 3rd gear. Hopefully his suggested changes don't button down the car too much Shiv |

^yea Dinan is the only one to offer it. They don't disclose their offset and no other vendor out there has been able to offer a solution

Shiv, I think it is great you are doing this stuff but for goodness sake, what if a car came around one of those corners when the driver was getting sideways... Also, don't know if this was addressed, but what other modifications (i.e. suspension) does this car have. I think it is utterly pointless to throw a stupid big turbo on a car that doesn't have a worthy suspension. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Car needs more track time, less street time. It would be nice to see some logs after constantly redlining and taking on the harsher conditions of a road course.

Either way, the more I see this project unfold, the more I see my aspirations to keep my 335 an easy bolt-on car vanish before my eyes. I will really be keeping a keen eye on the reliability and drivability of these things. I have done the guinea pig thing in the past with very disappointing results, but if these things really turn out to be as good as they seem right now, I don't see being able to resist the temptation for long at all. Great work thus far, looking forward to even more.

The car will see some track time. Thinking about T-hill next month. Just a lot to do until then (brake ducts, water lines into the turbo, suspension/tire tweaking). I wouldn't say that the current suspension is "unworthy", it's not not track worthy at this time. But then again, a stock e90 m3 isn't any better.

Let's see some highway pulls from this speed and maybe a video of you rolling in 2nd gear "idle" and then floor the gas to see how fast this single will spool up.

Reminds me of riding with Steve Dinan in an E92 M3 4.6L stroker on the road back to his house. HOLY CRAP! That dude is CRAZY.
Man, I've only had my 335 since Sept, and I'm already looking forward to turning into a single turbo track car!

If you get a 265 on the front with camber plates on a 9" - 19" rim and post the offsets - you would make me a very happy man. No flippin way I want to spend $6k on a set of rims alone. I'll save the money for the single turbo !!
