Re: Help with turbo question!!!!

You dont necessarily need to build the motor till you boost alot. With your z3 you should be fine with bout 8 psi with stock valve train. Just to be safe I wouldnt go past that with it stock. But with the 8 psi just make sure to get a good tune. What ecu upgrade are you going for.

And I know a couple people that have the a3 and they are boosting 10 psi stock and have been for about a year and running strong but are daredevils lol.

Re: Help with turbo question!!!!

z3 transmission is pretty weak. if you turbo it, just baby it or get your trans built or you'll run into problems and transmissions arent cheap.

I don't agree with this post at all....the psi means nothing. If you wanna know whats safe it ll be in hp rating and the tune you have on the car. PSI is a wrong term to be measuring whats safe cuz a gt28@8psi wont make near the power a gt42R@8psi would.
