UUC Twin Silencer Exhaust II

[mrbanshee]

UUC Motorwerks has announced that they are designing there new TSE2. It will be a full dual cat back exhaust with a removable resonator. It will be TIG welded and mandrel bent. From the pre-production pictures it looks to be stainless steel. The pre-order price is $590. Which is pretty cheap for a full cat back exhaust.

I will have this unit to review and install very soon...

The UUC TSE2 exhaust looks good. What every happen to those VDO gauges install and Flywheel video? Do you have the Valentine 1 installed in your car? If so do you have the stealth rear view mirror? God Bless, Dave.

The VDO Gauges aren't completed totally.

I still have to hook up the boost gauge, so I will post the review when I get the dash back apart.

As for the flywheel video, JawKnee did one for it, so I didn't.

I do not have a radar detector.

Ok cool. Do you know of any people who have a turbo 330?

Thanks, I e-mailed Kromex and he has a turbo kit from a company called ATP Turbo in California.

Things aren't that clear as to what is what, but here's what I found:

Stage I $3995.00 -- 350HP (assume engine HP), Intercooled
Stage II upgrade kit $4995 (http://www.atpturbo.com/turbopiping/monstermate/BMW3Ser.asp) -- 300+ rear wheel HP, coming soon

This is a performance graph; can't tell if it's stage I or II:

Yeah, that is alot of rear wheel horsepower. An E46 M3 has like 275hp to the rear wheels. That kit looks real good. I am going to call them and question them about the type of set-up they used for the computer. Also, if they had any problems with check engine lights and OBD codes. It is a really cheap turbo kit if it comes with everything you need. Active Autowerke's E36 M3 stage 1 turbo kit is $8,000 and doesn't make much power. I will post what they said. God Bless, Dave.

How come it's so cheap??

[mrbanshee]

Darius, that is the same question I thought when I saw the price. It is about the same price as a turbo kit for a Honda.

I called ATP Turbo and spoke to George. He very knowledgable about there turbo systems. I asked him alot of technical questions. Such as how long is the turbo manifold and what about the cat. He told me, that since the stock cats are built into the stock header. They had to bolt on a 3" high flow cat to the turbo manifold. Also, they extended the wires for the 02 sensors. So, you will need to have a custom exhaust 3" and muffler. The kit comes with larger injectors and the computer is sent to them to be chipped. There program is tuned just as a Haltech system, where it is done in real time with the car on the dyno. They are pretty fimilar with Bosch systems and they have been doing this since 1997. The stage I kit had about 8psi and stage II is little higher. The internal will have to be changes for stage II. Also, the wastegate is fixed so that the boost in non-adjustable and keeps the vehicle safe. They are presently going through all the different codes of ECU. So, by the end of April the kits should be ready.

Sounds tempting!
