I made some believers. Looking good. After a couple months I have only had to relocate the cat sensor because it blew out in 100 degree weather at 100 mph on my e30 tune from Torrie. Maybe I can find charge pipes with a flange for the cat sensor. No regrets here.

22 plus psi on torries e30 tune after my ebay intercooler. Charge temps stay around 100 in 80 degree humid Texas weather and 100% humidity. 1k miles so far no problem. I have not considered getting a name brand intercooler. You need to at least be mechanically inclined to make a uni intercooler...

Yes just add your tunes and carry on.

You sure can! I'm using a second hand Bama tuner.

I really wish I had a chance to try the Bama tune. Tunes are one car only though.

Ain't that the truth?! I would probably be depressed if I was back on the stock tune. It's just that damn good lol.

No cel with grill shutters removed and eBay intercooler. Sensor left unplugged.

I bought a Bama SCT X4 from Craigslist for $200 and used it for Torrie's Unleashed Tune.

Torrie's E30 tune FTW!! I actually stayed right behind a s550 GT that at least had an exhaust (nice terminator wing too). I let off before 100. Also embarrassed a late model Audi S4. Thank you Torrie!!!

Ok so I sent my latest logs from this morning WOT run to Torrie. He says it looks good! I will be buying the Snow WM kit from him in about a week or so. I can't wait until my car is all methed out.

Well he gave me a new tune when I submitted my logs. Much more smooth and linear than my first tune. But OMG is that fricken transmission violent in drive mode! I'm getting so much rubber on auto shifts, it feels like the car is leaping forward between shifts. Torrie gave me a custom log file...

You can use any intercooler you want. I just used one that required little modification to fit. On blind faith of course. But I walk by faith lol because my earthly eyes are legally blind.;) If you want to keep your grill shutters, you might want to look at intercoolers for the 335i...

What part of Houston?! I'm on the edge of Galleria between Westheimer and Voss. Your setup is even more outside the box than mine! Look at that intercooler peeking out of the grill! That is sick man!

I'm sorry for not taking more pics while everything was apart but here is the support brace to give you an idea. As you can see it is flipped, but supports it perfectly. You will only be able to use one bolt on each side versus two. The top support I made by just jb welding two pieces of...
