    I wish I knew. The dyno day I was at was only doing top HP numbers unfortunately. The pulls were only 4k and up.

    Go turbo, the only thing about the z3 kit is the cross over doesnt fit a rear plog IIRC. So keep that in mind. No idea what im putting down but im running a t67 with an XP cam and 12 PSI so I have no idea what my numbers are... 400? maybe?

    Z3 crossover doesn't have a Wastegate perch so you have to use stock rear manifold...bought a z3 crossover from Greg so I'm still heading towards turbo setup

    Looks like I am grabbing the xp cam from joe0813 so I will be installing that first and then finishing up the turbo kit as I have time and extra money
