Hi guys I am sorta new here but just want to say I will be starting my engine next week . It has been almost 3 months since i started It, , so now i got stock M30b32 around 120Kengine w/ valve job ,head gasket and arp studs,30# inj with fmu,tcd to4e 60 trim, 745i mainfold and wastegate,745 intercooler, saab air bypass valve,059 dme and harness, with all that said does any one have any tips on correctly starting this beast?I also have't figured this picture posting thing out,I would like to post some pics.if anyone can help here also i would app.

My question is this: How did you mate the turbo with the 745i manifold?

[davidu]

I fabed up an adapter(about 4 hours work but man it was kinda a pain in the @ss .,I did this because i got the 7 manifold for 120$ and the steel to fab the adapter for 45$ (i would like to have the tcd manifold but i thought the turbo is the most crucial part and couldn't afford both. If i new how to post pics i would post one.......

Just make sure the FMU is not adjusted too tight at startup. With that setup you car will run rich at startup untill it adapts. Make sure the O2 is runing proper at initial startup. I would recommend getting a O2 sensor gauge.

The better bet is to get the software from TCD, it just works better than the adaptation stuff.

Save yourself A LOT of trouble and get the full plug-and-play MS system from TCD. It will have the ECU, custom wire harness and be pre programmed for PEAK performance……………too easy!

If you can get the pics of the adaptor I'd love to see them

Good luck!
