    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Update 5/5/2011, threw my car on the local dyno (Mustang Eddy Current Load Dyno).
    car pulled 205whp / 193wtq.

    That was with 93 octane gas from Hess, car has 110k miles on odometer now.
    Car is 100% stock as of right now. This was so I have my baseline to go by on further mods.

    trying to get the 3rd pull.... this is the sheet of the 2nd pull...



    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The muffler to quiet things down:



    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Comp Turbo CT4 Oil-Less turbo. I got it in a .63 a/r T3 turbine housing with 3" Vband for the downpipe.
    I already have the manifold which I am going to do a thermal barrier coating on it.

    These turbos use a high temperature, long life expensive grease on the center section. Heat is also reduced by going with ceramic ball bearing vs the standard metal Garrett uses. The deletion of the oil lines does 2 things for us, no tapping of the oil pan and no need to run an oil line to the turbo. so we get rid of the turbo drain problems that these cars have. The turbo is water cooled so it will need water lines.

    Also for future reference the re-greasing of the turbo is only $100 if/when needed. A trade off I am willing to live with to avoid the typical turbo related issues with the M54B30, smoking, drains problems, oil leaks, tapping oil pan etc.. Joe told me His personal oil-less turbo did 57k miles of good (high boosted) use before needing a re-grease. on a daily driver it should last way longer. I say a good 100k.. but that is why I am trying it out. My car goes about 12k miles a year if that so my first greasing would be about 4 years and 9 months if I was to push 25psi.

    Treadstone intercooler:

    22 x 12 x 3.5 core with end tank air charge directors.



    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Update 3/2/2012

    Finally motivated and enough time to start working on the hardware stuff....

    I ported the turbo flange to gasket match it, T3 flange.


    The ports on these manifolds are Diamond shaped so I went and gasket matched this too.
    The way it comes:


    Mine:


    I also enlarged the wastegate port for a true 38mm and not 35mm as it was:


    I received my engine mount that fits this manifold from RallyRoad:


    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Update 5/5/2012

    Fitted the intercooler on the front end of the car finally.

    I recommend talking to Nick Glantzis about your plans. Nobody has more experience with turbos on the non-M E46 than Nick.

    I was reading around the fanatics and elsewhere and doesn't seem like nick lends a helping hand to the DIY'r.
    How do you plan on tuning it?

    Interesting. Many tuners have promised the ability to tune a turbo on the factory DME and so far, Nick G has been the only one to deliver. Looking forward to seeing what you can do because that product sounds way more flexible.
