Most installs keep A\/C and power steering, and it works with manual or automatic transmissions. Expect about 50–100 hp over stock at a conservative 8 psi with a proper tune. The 485+ hp figure is the hardware's ceiling at 25+ psi with a built engine, fueling and supporting mods, not a dyno result for a stock car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy this kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTIG-welded 321 stainless tubular manifold with large primaries and a thick T3 flange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT3\/T4 hybrid turbo with a .57 trim compressor and .50 \/ .63 A\/R housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35mm external wastegate with positioning adapter, dump tube and stainless downpipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-mount intercooler, full 2.5\" piping, two slim fans and an electronic turbo timer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery relocation box, heat wrap, intake filter and radiator hose sleeving included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) T3\/T4 hybrid turbocharger with oil fitting gaskets and mounting studs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Stainless tubular turbo manifold, T3 flange, polished, with gaskets and hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Front-mount aluminum intercooler, 2.5\" inlet \/ outlet, under 2% pressure drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Aluminum intercooler piping kit: (2) 2.5\" straight pipes, (2) 90°, (2) 60°, (2) 45° bends, (2) 2.5\" 90° silicone couplers, (6) 2.5\" straight silicone couplers, (16) stainless worm-gear clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Turbo oil line kit: 77\" feed line, 36\" angled feed, 18\" 5\/8\" high-temp 550 psi return, T fitting, fittings, gaskets and hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Aluminum battery relocation kit with cables, straps and hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) 35mm external wastegate, 2-bolt flange, with gaskets and flanges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Wastegate positioning adapter and (1) wastegate dump tube, stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Stainless downpipe \/ exhaust pipe, 2.5\" inlet, 5-bolt flange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Adjustable boost controller with install kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Blow-off valve with install kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Slim reversible cooling fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Electronic turbo timer with LED display and wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Adjustable fuel pressure regulator with gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Billet aluminum high-flow fuel filter, -6AN fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Oil catch can and (1) high-flow breather cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) 3\" high-flow intake filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) 10 m exhaust heat wrap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Radiator hose sleeving kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Coolant sensor bung, 38mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTurbocharger Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: T3\/T4 hybrid, wet-float bearings, balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompressor: .57 trim wheel, .50 A\/R housing, 3\" inlet, 2\" outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurbine: .63 A\/R housing, T3 inlet flange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil inlet: 1\/8\" NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExact Fitment — BMW\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1992–1999 3 Series E36 323i \/ 325i \/ 328i with M50 \/ M52 inline-six\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1995–1999 E36 M3 with S50 \/ S52 3.0L \/ 3.2L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1999 early E46 323i \/ 328i with M52 when the manifold flange matches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInline-six only — not for M42 \/ M44 318i 4-cylinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot for E46 M3 S54, later M54, or N-series engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntercooler piping is universal and needs cutting and fitting per chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNot Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhaust beyond the downpipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarger injectors, fuel pump and ECU tune (required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClutch upgrade, boost gauge and wideband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil-pan return bung if your setup needs one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional installation strongly recommended.
