I spoke to this guy via email. It sounds like a decent quality kit, just not name brand parts. The only thing thats brand name is the turbo. It's low pressure and is supposed to run of stock injectors and ecu. I think I will e-mail some ppl who bought the kit and get their opinions. BTW here's a kit for sale on there right now, lloks good.

Id be cautious about kits like this. The seller has some wrong termanology and is obviously exaggerating a bit. Sometimes when it comes to your cars life span, things like this are a bad idea

I don't want problem, I need a quality kit but at what price?

I think this kit can be upgraded, the supercharger kits cost too much money for the performance it give.

Being serious. I bet it'll go for $5k+ though. Although it only has OBD-I software... *shrug*

Why do you think a $5000 kit is better?

M50_328is · #10 (**permalink**) 03-18-2005, 11:43 AM

I think for 3K its a good buy. I meant starting point as in I could buy it, then later upgrade the turbo and go w/ bigger injectors and custom software. I think the overall kit looks good. I can't seem to get any replies fromprevious Audspeed customers though.

That's a kit that I built for sale on eBay. It's not an Audspeed kit! Ha ha.
The manifold, wastegate, and some of the exhaust came from Moadsters car that made 500+hp. All the other parts are mine and on cars currently making 600hp. Upgrade the turbo and injectors on a build M3 and I bet you can make 600hp. I built it for my 325is, but have decided to sell the car separately.

The turbo manifold is from AA or Cartech?

Just anm update on the AudSpeed kit. I got a reply from someone who purchased the kit for a 325. Here is his response
"Hey Phil,
I'm sorry that i did not have a chance to reply sooner. I will strongly encourage you to get the same turbo kit from Audspeed. The turbo kit comes with all the hardware, everything was brand new and the shipping was fast. Good look with your purchase. "
Just an update for those who are following this thread,
