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.

Mainly want to see better picture from those that have kit. If or when I buy it I'll document all the welds, fitment, upgrades and other odds and ins

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.

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 $$$..

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.
