The fact that you could have a 'cooler retrofitted at a dealer is loving fantastic and more car makers need to design vehicles with that provision; it seems like an awesome opportunity to market after-sales to people with an obsolescent model.

Vovlo's intercooler cools the air before it enters the turbo? How does that work? Shouldn't that say before entering the intake manifold or something?

I saw (and heard) something dinan-badged the other day. It said "380i" on it, along with the badges. The motor sure sounded angry.

Did BMW make an 8.0 that Dinan would drop into a 3-series? Looked about 2005 body style.

No and Dinan doesn't do that kinda stuff - more of a Hartge thing.

I thought it might be something with a direct injection fuel pump but then I figured that they wouldn't drive that with a belt and the fittings probably wouldn't be black or in that count.

So speaking of massive chrome rims and Texas car culture, back in May my city (San Antonio) had massive flooding (like what they're talking about in Boulder, CO recently), including 12" of rainfall over part of one day. Suddenly massive rims had some relevance.

I think aftermarket DI controllers are barely on shelves, I only know of the MoTec one and its not anywhere near feasible for anyone other than multi million dollar race programs. It certainly isn't MegaSquirt.
