Forge twin cooler is in. Everything connected and properly tightened. I even used two hose clamps on some connections just to be 110% sure that the pipes do not come off under boost.

Unfortunately during the installation, I damaged my air con condenser tank. The self tapping bolts I went to purchase (8pitch 30mm long), was a tad too long and made a little hole in the condenser tank, so the gas leaked out.
To fix it:
R695-00
R400 for labour
R495 for re gas. This is without tax. So all in all it will work out about 2k to repair the condenser tank and get my air con working again. :cry::cry::cry:

I will go dyno in the near future to see if I can reach the 220wkw and 450nm on pump fuel.

ya you must!!! But I can't compete against modified N54/N55. Few mods and you will see at least 260wkw!

Are you going to sell your 135i now? or keep and mod it?

Where did you get it fixed Rommies? R495 for the gas is cheap. Well done on all the mods, like the car isn't fast enough allready!

I have been thinking long and hard about WMi...I think I'm going to bite the bullet and try it.
I'm in good hands with Ivan.
I think I will be going with the Devils Own Kit with a few components changed to make it a more reliable setup.

Then after the meth kit is installed....it's time to play dyno queen. :rollsmile:

P3 and OB1 fuelling. I'm hoping to get close to the 240wkw and 500nm mark at KAR Dyno. (As I have been using this dyno since the beginning)

Oh btw....Thanks to Cornel from CJ Customs.
He painted my side mirrors and diffuser in gloss black.
The finish on this okes painting job is simply amazing. I really hope he does well enough to open his own big spraying/painting business one day!
His prices is also very reasonable....considering the amount of preparation and labour guys into the spraying job.
Check out the pictures:














You can see the gloss black diffuser in my previous video post. you be the judge! :thumbs:

So I am very happy and proud of what I achieved with my 4 pot.
What an awesome tuning platform.

It was my first time with P3 setting and some NF Ultra octane booster.

For those who can't see...238wkw and 506Nm

Time to move onto WMi :rollsmile:
