3 stage manifold WANTED - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Teeeg28 · 12-03-2012, 05:48 PM

What's up guys so Christmas is finally rolling around and y'all know what that means! Mods

so I have been trying to come up with a plan to get ahold of a used 3 stage manifold to drop in before I the stage 2 AA tune. So if anyone knows of where I could get my hands on one please let me know! I have been searching for one and the guys at the shop are keeping their eyes peel; brand new they are upwards of 2000 so that's a little out of my budget! I will try to get my car on a dyno after I Christmas to show the results.

Currently have a PE and getting either a eurobox or BMW performance intake hopefully followed by a manifold swap and to top it off a stage 2 AA tune!

Do yourself a favor and grab the tune now. AA doesn't charge much if at all for retunes, and having it now is way worth it.

I am getting the tune before Christmas once I figure out what intake I want to put it. Having trouble making a decision

wait for the next "discount special" that AA will offer for the tune.

Save yourself some money lol. I'm pretty much ready for the tune, just waiting on the next special 20% off sale.

If you go used, I've seen some intake manifolds for as low as $400 w/ the parts needed for the retrofit. Try to get in touch with your local salvage yards.

Because we can't afford M3's, we compensate for lack of horsepower with other mods. Just search "three stage intake manifold," and you'll find lots.

Came in to suggest this.

Check first, you can even do a visual check and see if you have it.

If you do not, go to www.car-part.com and check for a used one. That is where I got mine from.

DUI Elite · 12-04-2012, 12:55 PM

this thread needs to be sticked. good info, questions and answers all in one thread instead of having to search around.

Alright I for sure check that out! Johnny how much ( if you mind me asking ) did you pay all in all for the manifold with install?
