We talking RB install Ink? If so that is great advice. Having problems actually working out what the components should be. Have the turbos and inlets covered, now need a hot side charge pipe (when they finished dev). Was thinking about fitting new water pump, thermostat and HPFP but may be unnecessary. Maybe an oil catch can as well, Anything else I need while the turbo install is being done?

Yep, turbo install.

Definite things to do:

- Waterpump + thermostat
- Advan mod to CP + RB chargepipe
- RB oil line fittings
- Replacement of all vacuum hoses on hot side

I wouldn't worry about the hpfp right now, are you running ethanol already?

I'd exchange doing the hpfp for walnut clean and valve cover (with gasket) replacement.

Also, not sure if you've already updated injectors.

Socks is running the MHD E40 map so will already pushing >20 peak psi. It's not worth paying for a custom tune now to get a few more killer wasps as he'll need to pay for another tune to take full advantage of the RBs.

If your pressure is fine now dont worry about it yet. See how your fueling looks after you use those RB's in anger. You wouldnt be saving that much labour anyway doing it now.

Thanks guys, Ill get new water pump and themostat, valve cover n gaskets as maintenance items (no idea when they were last done) and get the inlets, RB OLFs, JD HSCP if the dev is finished in the next few weeks. Might have my RBs fitted by 2017

Took 7 days from order to delivery

Fob arrived today. Safely packed in padded satchel and anti-static bag

Fob identical to the OEM one, in weight, finish and build quality
Complete with battery, transponder and chip, and blank slide out key

Included little BMW logo to stick onto the button. Backing glue was pretty weak so used a spot of glue to stick it in place

Ill get it coded at the local locksmith and report back

Any progress on the spare key Socket?

Looks great socket

everyone was nagging you about the gloss window surrounf, now LCI tail lights

[ATTN]

Not sure if you've got this but you will need a TMAP n20 sensor as well

Not that I know of, seem to work fine with the standard MHD tune. Just need to tick the N20 option when loading up the Off the Shelf Maps (see post 235)

I've got both the 98 pump and E40 OTS maps they seem pretty good, pulling 18+ boost from what I can tell, enough to blow the pipe off the intercooler anyway lol ....
Harmsy was pretty impressed with them at our springy dyno day but I really installed the N20 for the RBs which will need a custom MHD map.....

as you can tell I'm still waiting for my RB install
