Question DocRace top mount turbo.

Any one in here order one of these kits?
I know they do mostly BMW stuff. So curious on quality and performance of kit or potential downfalls. Only downfall I know of is it won't bolt up to aftermarket exhaust or Nismo models as they are made to mount to were y pipe was and not h pipe. If I buy kit I'll modify down pipe to work with my HKS exhaust.

My favorite part of this kit is " This kit come with everything you need to go from stock to boosted!"...Lol

I love how many companies feed the innocent ******** to push their products.

I’ve been watching this kit for months now, I wish they would post more dynos with the bigger turbos they offer. Seems like a real gamble to give a company $5k for a untested product. But if this kit puts down good numbers without any hiccups it will be hard to beat for the price.

Save up and get a quality TT kit. Fast Intentions is the way to go. They just flat out work.

I am assuming you think Doc Race is some wanna be company or something, but they are actually really known for producing some seriously good kits for the BMWs. I have no doubt this kit will perform well. I was just curious if anybody on here actually ordered one. Sorry $10k for a twin turbo kit that I have to pull the motor to install, no thanks. I would rather sacrifice some performance for ease of installation and save some $$$..

Heat soak is gonna kill ya. I don't car for top mounts at all due to this. I require a kit that works, excellent craftsmanship, and has years of service. Anyone who buys this will be in uncharted territory. Good luck to them. Motor builds aren't cheap.

This is my biggest concern with a kit like this. There's a reason BP mounts their single where they do and I'm pretty sure it has to do with heat. These cars run hot N\A, I can only imagine what a top mount snail will do to under hood temps. However these guys are well respected in the BMW department so I'm hoping it works out. More options are always better.
