BMR Turbo K-member w/ tubular lower a-arms


simple interior shot. the empty AC Vent will house the Eboost2. Other 2 gauges are fuel pressure and water temp.


Went w/ a single fuel pump vs. dual A1000's. Sumped 98 tank.





This is how it was while i drove it N/A for about a year. i've since gone w/ a bigger radiator as you can see in the post above. but i wanted to show how much room i made for the 88mm. Even w/ all teh room i cleared up... it still a TIGHT fit.

generic ebay IC. from what i've "read" its efficient to around "800"...

its only a 3in and 3out though. although there's plenty of local fabricators that can cut off and weld on a 3.5/3.5
