Maybe I'll just fit the Split-R for when I feel like making noises

Thanks Ben, she's taken a while but she's there now. Absolutely insane to drive.

Boost Guage
I just can't help myself, I've bought more.
Autometer boost guage & Nomad Racing A-Pillar mount.
I had the Halfords AutoGauge before this but I took it back, that one had 4 wires on the back. This Autometer guage only has 2 wires, a black & red so I am guessing one is earth for the bulb & the other is the live? I guess that this means I can only wire it into the dash light live feed and that it won't dim (not that I use the dimmer anyway)?

I bought the guage & pod together for £40 with all fittings, if I'd bought them separately then it would have been about £50 for the pod & £45 for the guage.
Wow bargain price how do you find all these deals

I'm just lucky I think .
No, it's a real pig but I'll get there, hopefully this weekend or next.

There's an APR one now on Pistonheads .
- Full set of stiffened engine mounts
- RARB
- LSD
Then I will consider conrods, large intake manifold and exhaust manifold. I want to stay K04, hybrid at the most.

I've been reading up on the SEM, tested on small port head with Stage 2 mods on BAM and it made a significant BHP increase. Torque didn't really increase so much but it looks like it can breathe better at the top end for sure. Worst comes to worst then I go hybrid and it comes to life. Plan is to garage the LCR, work on it and have it as 'the toy', then then 335i for being a ponse, although I'll have that mapped to 400bhp right away .
I'll be upgrading the clutch to SACHS Organic with OE DMF. This looks capable for the tune I plan on taking the car to, 350bhp at a push with roughly the torque I run now I would imagine (which my OE clutch is doing a great job of taking). Any more HP/Torque and you're definitely out of realms of DMF and need to look at something stronger.

Just a heads up I had an uprated Sachs clutch with standard dmf I blew the dmf up so I think if your doing all that work you may as well go smf while the box is out other wise your paying twice for some thing you could of had done once believe me I wish I had done it I've had 3 clutches in mine , the helix race clutch is rated to 450 bhp costs 952 delivered and it's really nice to drive with if you want to feel what it's like you can drive mine when it's out the body shop
