535 turbo cost/conversions

[GGray657@xxxxxxx]

Mark be wrong!
 
 A properly sorted out  535turbo is well worth 14K. Robs car makes last time I
checked his web site 289hp AT THE REAR WHEELS!...which equals around 360+hp at
the crank...in an E28 this makes for one fast sled!  Fast as in dust or hang
whith just about anything... 0-60 should be wround 5.0-5.2 sec, 1/4 mile
around 13.5, top end gear limited 160+. Probably best bang per buck if you are
looking for a fast car. 

 Since I have a 87 535is turbo which has a much more complicated turbo setup
on it...intercooler where battery was, throttle body on the opposite side of
the manifold, etc... I can say from experience you DO NOT want  to try this
modification on your own unless you have access to a full shop, a machine
shop, and a good welder.  Since there is a lot of unstock things you have to
do.

Not to mention all the extra do da's that are on Helen..Go price the stuff it
adds up fast..
